Just half a year back, the notion of AMD buying over ATI was simply nothing more than part of the IT rumor mill and many never saw the possibility. After all, both corporations have a completely different focus group and never had an overlap in lineup. By Computex 2006, the rumors escalated, but yet there were no hints from either party. Then on 24th July 2006, AMD and ATI globally announced plans to unite in a transaction valued at approximately US$5.4 billion.

I'll bet Intel are pissed off with this and so am I.

I don't trust ATI to support "properly" any of there vga's on Intel platforms now and in the future for obvious reasons. I'm in the process of changing my card now...
