I'm curious to see what AMD has in store for ATI. I have no idea why they'd collaborate. Perhaps AMD will start making better GPUs. I've always wondered why they don't just stick regular CPUs on graphics cards.

When was the last time you tried an ATI video card? I used to love Nvidia, but I don't think i'm going back anytime soon lol. :P

What I really do hope to see is CPU optimized GPU's. The collaboration between ATI and AMD could lead to incredible stuff, perfect synch execution and all that. :D Only time will tell, but really I think they should keep the brand ATI as it established itself very well in the industry and cutting it to AMD could make the sells drop immensly. Just think about people not being informed alot about the matter or "AMD haters". =/

I hope to see some better motherboard chipsets come out of this whole deal!

The reason why ATi used an external cable? Because nVidia patented using a n internal connction to connect the video cards, but ATI's rv570XT GPU will allow internal connection, it overcomes the nVidia patent by using two 2 connectors instead of one

hmm... In that case, I think it'd be a cool idea if AMD/ATI started making dual-core GPUs :thumleft:

Have you ever used crossfire? Don't say something sucks unless you have used it
