AS OUR SOURCES told us, there were lot of vultures flying around the fresh corpse of ATI partner Connect3D. However, there is only one victor.

One of leading shareholders in TwinTech3D, second-tier Nvidia AIB partner bought a complete stake in now-bankrupt Connect3D. Plan is quite simple - increase the market share for Twintech company with this week's launch of long-delayed HD2400 and HD2600.

There is quite a lot of money invested to back the restart of Connect3D operation, and with TwinTech3D offering Nvidia cards and Connect3D continuing to offer ATI ones, this partnership will pose quite a challenge for remaining Nvidia-only or ATI-only AIBs.

In the past 24 months, we have witnessed quite a lot of shakeups and partnering in the industry, and the number of companies that offer both ATI and Nvidia based cards has grown from two (Asustek, MSI) to "quite a lot", as our sources have it.

You can now buy ATI or Nvidia cards from Asustek, GigaByte, MSI, Palit (Gainward/Palit), PC Partner (via Sapphire/Zotac), and now Connect3D/TwinTech3D.

Interesting moves indeed. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
