Jim: On the other hand it appears that Intel may have backed the wrong horse. nVidia has a way of spanking their competition. Besides that Radeon don't impress me much... Jim According to current reports, the ATI chipset is a traditional, low-end, ultra-integrated chipset. Not at all competition for NVIDIA's Crush chipsets (even if they were available for the same platform). It seems Intel didn't want to do an "i815" for the P4, for whatever reason. -fyo

Jim - You wrote On the other hand it appears that Intel may have backed the wrong horse. nVidia has a way of spanking their competition.. Really now - "spank" ? You sound like the little gamers that go gaga over a fast video card. I expected a more mature response from you. As for Radeon, their new 8500 graphics chip does seem very competitive to Nvidia - although neither ATI nor Nvidia are using top of the line graphics in their integrated chip sets. monica
