I think if AMD got ATI we could see a Graphics card powerd buy AMD that would be realy good to see how AMD would do making graphics processors and how fast they would be
not quite true... I've read that Intel would not have as much benefit if he buys Nvidia. If this really happens in two or three years we will have a GPU integrated directly into a CPU, or perhaps one attached on the HTX slot. Who knows.
This might be good short term, but I wish they'd be independent. Then we could see companies keep each other on their toes.
Now we have what looks like what might become a corporation.
I really love reading such "news" coming from a web-site where 80% of the ads are animated girl gifs and pink stuff... Now that's a really professional looking website :)

I think the purpose of this is to cut into Intel's business because Intel uses ATI chipsets in their budget motherboards. Buying ATI would allow AMD to deny Intel (or any mobo maker that uses Intel sockets) ATI chipsets which could give AMD an advantage on the lower end. Waste of time for AMD.
I think my Sempy 3400+/GeForce 6200 still rocks :)
