Petz, now with a mind-blowing nVidia chipset on the horizon, VIA may start regretting that they always put their primary efforts into the Intel platform. But it may be too late already. Where is the KT266... ? Does anyone care any more? Remember 3Dfx? If you don't progress others may take the lead. Soon VIA may be stuck with the P4 platform, having to compete with Intel's Brookdale SDRAM/DDR DRAM and i850 chipset. (If they ever get a license.) Well, VIA still owns the mobile market for the Athlon 4. Let's hope that they can deliver there, at least. The only downside I see with the nForce is that it may create such a big hype for the X-Box that in the end, no gamer will go and buy a PC. Peter

Petz, Peter the reference was to nforce for intel which as per fcenter.ru is ready but not licensed by intel. I guess intel does not like the idea that amd might be paid for each intel chip sold - ldt Regards -Albert

Petz: 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 Why would NVIDIA (which is the recommended way of writing the company's name, btw) be pissed off at Intel, because of something Microsoft did? 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. Now, that's just silly. I could bring up a ton of reasons why this is utterly ridiculous, but most are so obvious that I won't waste your / the thread's time. If you sit down and really think it through, I'm sure you can come up with something... -fyo
