Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm thrilled at the move actually. Some may say that it could create a monopoly, but I don't think so. Intel and Nvidia are still competitive enough to keep that from happening.

Anyone else have thoughts about this?

The thing I'd like to see in PC's in general is different 'levels'. For example, a level 1 computer would be fairly decent and cheap, and each step above it would get better in performance and the like. It would make gaming better, because the programmers could code for say, a level 3 computer and make it look great on that instead of looking at the latest and greatest hardware and coding. Today's games should be made to look great on hardware that is maybe 12 months old at the least instead of 12 seconds old or something...

Definitely!!! xd Either that, or buy a PC and salvage parts from it for something else.

Intel didnt buy AMD. AMD bought ATI. ^_^;

It's kind of like Walmart buying out Mcdonalds...
