I'm torn. I don't know if I'll ever buy anything AMD now! :-X

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

This can be a good thing depending on how AMD is with Open source.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

Also a shitty thing because it leaves Intel to [eventually] partner up with nVIDIA.  If this is more than just a rumor, I'm sure we'll eventually end up paying an arm and a leg for a processor as opposed to having huge sales and whatnot from Intel and [somewhat] AMD.

I don't know if it would lead to them partnering up..maybe. Even then I still think they will operate as seperate companies, just be owned by one.

I think you're right, Warrior.  Linksys still produces their own products even though they're owned by Cisco.

Intel produces their own graphics chipsets. They don't need nVidia. :)

AMD did not.

If any serious gamer uses an Intel graphics chipset, I will laugh at them to their face.

You need to be quiet. :(
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

You're just not a serious gamer.

This could be good. Perhaps hardware specs will finally be released and someone can write a good driver for ATi graphics cards! :)
