Those guys at XGi also had skills and were talented but their product still failed.
How ignorant.

While ATI and Nvidia put their chips on $100 boards and a few $200-$300 boards, XGI has its chips on multiple 4-way and 8-way high end Xeon and Opteron motherboards, each of which are around $400, to give you an idea on margins.

Please do your research before making blanket statements.
