FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE





VisionTek Ranks Number One among AMD's North American Channel Partners



VisionTek™ graphics cards, featuring AMD's ATI Radeon technology,
rates high with hardcore gamers for advanced performance and support.



Inverness, IL, February 12, 2009 - VisionTek Products, LLC, a leading
consumer brand owner of advanced PC graphics cards, PC/TV tuners, and PC
accessories, became the number one North American channel partner for
AMD in 2008. Previously ranked as AMD's leading retail partner,
VisionTek's market dominance in consumer graphics cards elevated the
company's ranking in 2008. This is attributed, in part, to the superior
performance of AMD's ATI Radeon technology.



John Byrne, AMD Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Channel and
Regional OEM, states "It's no surprise to me that VisionTek was AMD's #1
North American consumer graphics brand in Retail for 2008. VisionTek,
as an exclusive AMD Radeon partner, has always focused on putting the
consumer's needs first, year after year! We're delighted to have them
as a partner and we'll be doing everything to continue to grow share
further in 2009."



VisionTek exclusively uses ATI Radeon technology to achieve its
best-in-class performance standards for graphics cards. The consistency
in product quality enables VisionTek to maintain the most extensive
product warranties in the industry.



"VisionTek is the only company to offer lifetime product warranties and
US-based toll free customer support," notes Michael K. Innes, VisionTek
Chief Operating Officer. "Discerning gamers trust our brand because we
stand behind our products, but ultimately they selected us because we
maintain the best performance-to-price standards in the market."



VisionTek plans to continue building its partnership with AMD in 2009
with new product launches that will extend the brand's dominance in the
consumer market well into the next decade. "VisionTek is a long standing
retail partner at Best Buy and leads the way with customer initiatives
in the PC graphics category" remarks Scott Wallace, Merchandise Manager
For Best Buy's PC peripheral category, "Best Buy has the highest
standards in the consumer electronics industry and it stands to reason
that our largest AMD graphics partner, VisionTek, is also AMD largest
partner for North America in 2008."



Leading retail establishments and online sites that capitalize on the
VisionTek brand popularity include Best Buy, Dell.com, Fry's
Electronics, Future Shop, Micro Center, Newegg.com, Tiger.com, Wal-Mart,
and other leading consumer outlets throughout the Americas.
