Image the consequences if ATI bought NVIDIA. I bet you're the type of guy to yell fire in a crowded room. :-) Thanks for the next few months of sleepless nights you've just given me. I'm actually thinking I would prefer a merger with Diamond and nVidia. Diamond will probably find a way to screw things up in short order. Pat

Image the consequences if ATI bought NVIDIA. ATI is the one company who could probably stand toe to toe with CREAF in a battle for NVIDIA, but they still don't have nearly the cash or stock leverage which CREAF can currently bring to bear. If ATI pulled it off they would certainly deal a heavy blow to both DIMD and CREAF and the field would then be a head to head between ATI and TDFX. I think it mostly depends on how much faith ATI has in the Rage128 architecture and how much they can find out about the NV20. It's very similar to AMD with the K5, which was late and wasn't likely to keep up technologically, so they bought NextGen, scrapped K5 and switched over to the K6 core. Sure did work out for them. I wonder if anyone from CREAF or DIMD reads this board. You think Steve's post would have held a little pucker factor?
