      Good or bad for developers?

      This is bad, competition and choice is good.

      I don’t like ATI graphics cards and this indicates a potential for ones CPU of choice to be locked in to the graphics card you have to have in your system.

      Doubt that will happen. I look forward to it, finally cheap ass dell machines will come with some sort of nvidia chipset instead of the shit ass integrated intel GFX chip. As for developers i dont really forsee a problem. Time will tell i guess though.

      I suppose, on the other hand, cheap PC’s with a decent GFX chipset would be very nice and good for developers from that point of view (more accesible / larger market).

      Even cheap ass nVidia is still better than the Intel tripe.

      I suppose it kinda makes sense and was to be expected, after AMD bought ATi, in a tit-for-tat “let’s not be outpaced” way :wink:

      The integrated nVidia chip, the 6150, is FAR better than the Intel chip however its still muck in the grand scheme of things. At 800×600 on Medium detail settings you’d be hitting around 12/13fps on Doom 3 and about 25fps in HL2, not exactly ideal.

      As for whether the takeover would be good or bad, well as far as I can see the only thing that could go wrong is that the top tier motherboard manufacturers could be pressured into making their boards only support one particular chipset, that said it would be a pretty ridiculous move on their part given the split in the industry currently, but hey, stranger things have happened. :?
