peter, I think nVidia is pissed off at Intel because they developed the entire Xbox architecture with a view to using LDT and the Athlon, and then at the last minute, $Bill switched to Intel. nVidia certainly knew which CPU gave better performance and it wasn't Intel. A cheaper, slower Intel CPU puts more demands on the graphics subsytem to meet the performance goals of the XBox. In addition, in the PC arena, Intel may have pushed nVidia to put Athlon de-optimizations into their graphics drivers or some similar slime-bucket tactic. Petz
