Intel should not be allowed to buy ATI, since they are effectively a key AMD partner in the mobile market and this would hand NVidia a monopoly in the AMD mobile market. Petz

eracer, ATI chipsets are very popular in AMD mobiles and are becoming more popular in AMD desktops. I think ATI popularity had a lot to do with being the only game in town for some time for integrated graphics. Beyond that Intel would could have more of a direct influence on the driver performance of ATI-based video cards. That would be more worrying. What remains to be seen is how much optimization can skew results from Conroe to K8(L). My guess is that K8(L) is more similar to Conroe than to Netburst. Joe
