   VIA is trying ot get their CPU out there as much as possible and snag as many sales/brand recognition as possible. BUT VIA is using Nvidia as an alternative (unless their plans have changed). nvidia will help get their name out (as well as sell more of their own product) so its a nice mutual relationship. The one this is, VIA has their trinity platform ( [url]http://www.via.com.tw/en/initiatives/spearhead/trinity/
   /url] ) and is actively developing and pursuing it.They recently released a new GPU and graphics card update under their S3 line and are starting ot actually be competitive. I am interested to see what the future hold for VIA, I hope great things personaly.

   You may remember Via used to be one of the top players in the mainboard chipset market, but those days are over. They belong to the struggling kind now, despite of having a few very interesting products under their umbrella.

   I recently read a review somewhere comparing the Nanos to the Atoms, the nano absolute destroys the atom in performance and only uses a tiny bit more power. The atom really is a POS for anything other than a PDA compared to the Nano.
