Even though this has been pointed out a couple of times before and officially denied by MSI Computer, Medion, a German PC Manufacturer, recently started shipping new models using the "MSI Radeon 9600TX".
Not to get all excited, this Radeon 9600TX doesn't seem to be ATI's new chip but a remarked Radeon 9500 Pro chip solded on a simpler, cheaper to manufacture PCB. However what is more intriguing is the fact that MSI seems to be making Radeon boards in-house already, no plans for going retail with such boards have been unveiled so MSI would seem to maintain it's position as a NVIDIA partner, even when it's making competition's boards for OEMs.
