So be it. If saying "NO" means being alone, then to hell with love, with romance, with marriage, and all the shit life keeps pumping at me. I'll walk alone, but with freedom and a healed pride.
NEVER buy a LiteOn CD/DVD Writer. Ever.

well, it pretty much means forget getting a AMD product with Nvidia chipsets out of the box (if you dont build your own), and vice versa with the Intel/ATI.
Also may mean, further down the line, NVidia card will perform better with Intel Chipsets.
We saw this coming when ATI was purchased by AMD. Just had to wait for it to occur.

It will probebly NOT happen. Atleast not the next few years.
Why? Several reasons.
Cash, Intel is on a cost cutting spree, you want them to spend $10b on another company that dosn't bring anything unique?
IP, nVIdia would bring nothing beyond GPU talent. Intel dosn't need help with it's chipsets, it has the best chipset engineers in the world. Also, nVidia dosn't have that huge a GPu talent group. Their main advantage is a massive collection of patents such as the SLI patent.
Last, nVidias CEO has publicly stated he will not allow a merger that dosn't end up with him as CEO.

Mayabird:You see what this place does to us? It's like how Eskimos have their 16 names for snow. We have to precisely define what shafting we're receiving.
"Do we think Israel would be nuts enough to go back into Lebanon with Olmert still in power and calling the shots? They could hook Sharon up to a heart monitor and interpret the blips and bleeps as "yes" and "no" and do better than that, both strategically and emotionally."
