Intel to bundle ATI-based VGA cards with 915/925 motherboards

"Intel and ATI Technologies plan a co-marketing initiative called “Driving Change,” which will target the channel and bundle ATI own-brand add-in-board (AIB) clients with Intel own-brand motherboards, according to sources at Taiwanese motherboards makers.

The plan, which will kick off on August 2 in North America and Europe, will offer channel distributors discounts of US$20 or US$30, depending on the motherboard models.

A discount of US$30 is being offered for an ATI Radeon X600-based graphics card bundled with an Intel BOXD925XCV, BOXD925XBC or BOXD915PBLL motherboard."
Good times for those looking for a cheap way to upgrade their system, though I would have liked to see them apply the discounts on any of the ATI cards.
