Hummmm, I thought this rumor was around a few months ago and Nvidia said they would never sell. I guess they changed their minds. This is going to suck if you have to get ATI and AMD, or Intel and Nvidia. Could be really bad for the market. Hopefully that doesn't happen but I have seen dumber things happen so you never now.

Well, if I have to choose between DAAMIT and Intel/NVIDIA it'll be DAAMIT all the way ...... I'd sell my 7900GT faster than you can say "Holy crap that's a bad move by NVIDIA"

Please for the sake of the computer world Nvidia needs to stand alone. I even hated the deal that ATI made with AMD.... I have had very very bad luck with ATI so I will never ever have 1 installed On 1 of my MOBO's Nvidia RULES :headset:

I love Nvidia too ... the way they are. If Intel but them out, I will never EVER support them again. Just the way I feel.

ATI, nVidia, hey they are both fine. However I am an AMD fanboy :headset: So if nVidia goes Intel and ATI goes AMD....duh, guess what I'll buy next.

Same here!! However, I have a Intel right now which makes me slighty sad because I love AMD so much. Oh well, we can't always get what we want.
