I can't imagine nVidia being that shortsighted, they make a lot of their
money off of the AMD gamers running Athlon64's with fat nVidia cards.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out but I don't expect nVidia
to not support AMD chipsets anymore, at least not at the card level,
they just put out AGP/PCI Express cards that'll run on any x86. More
interesting is what this means for their chipsets though, not sure if
they'll be too happy putting out nForce chipsets supporting their
biggest competitor...

Well that would really suck since I prefer the AMD and Nvidia combo in
my machine if I have the choice.

Hey Kris,

Yeah, I=92m 99.9% sure this is the real deal. It=92s up at various
hardware sites as well as a few stock sites. I=92m just unsure how this
will affect us down the line=85=85if Nvidia possibly quits making their
cards to run on any AMD/ATI based chipsets=85.how will support be for
XSI with ATI etc? Guess we=92ll just have to wait and see!

Hmmmm...I thought we heard about this a little while back but it was
apparently not true. I wonder if it really is for real. Would be
interesting for sure if it is.
