It seems to be a good deal for AMD and ATi, but the real question for me is how Intel and nvidia are going to take this. I would like to know if nforce is still going to be an AMD chipset. :/

I'm modding you down because the digg rating system is not for some lame poll...

Never. Intel isn't paying the premium for the little Nvidia offers it. Intel already makes rock solid chipsets and if Intel truly wanted to sink billions in money, they could be a player in the discreet graphics market for a bit less than it'd take to buy out nvidia. Intel has no use for Nvidia at the cost it would incur.

@addisonj -- lawl, no, of course not. The title of the post is "AMD & ATI - Some Questions Answered," and there was seriously nothing in the presentation that answered anything that we, as a community, haven't already figured out. No digg.

Yes, ATI drivers have gone a long way. They have gotten a lot better. Don't listen to the stupidity of people who keep saying ATI has driver problems because more than likely they don't own a current ATI card. It's the fanboyism of the Nvidia fans that try to revive the past history of ATI to say that "oh blah blah blah so much better." I knew a day like this would come and it's finally here. It's a good move for AMD. GOTTA LOVE IT! Competition brings out better products and price cuts. =)

I am fairly sure that when I published this no other sites has the section on "PC Channel Concerns" that answered some very pointed questions. Also we have another article posted here that will answer some more questions.<a class="user" href="http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTEyNSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==">http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTEyNSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==</a>
