I knew AMD would drop the ball somewhere with this CPU. Both good and sad that I have been proven right.

Not A Gay Name posted:It was a poor contract with Nvidia as I understood it. It was a off the shelf Geforce 3 (or 4, can't remember for sure) and as retail prices dropped Nvidia had MS locked into paying the original high price. Left a sour taste in the mouth so they went with ATI. There is no way Microsoft were going to deal with Nvidia after that little episode. The 360 was a rush job, as the RROD issue showed in the early versions. I'm sure if Nvidia didn't screw MS so hard, MS wouldn't have killed the original XBox so quickly and would've spent more time developing the 360 and not have the hardware issues they had.

PC LOAD LETTER posted:Why would you think the current administration or the next for that matter would bust them up? The last few administrations have been incredibly pro big business/mega corp and have allowed massive consolidation in many areas. They didn't even bust up the banks after they helped to trash the economy, hell they made them bigger as part of a "solution". They sure haven't broken up MS either. Yep, I think some people think that the US Government still has the anti-monopoly views that it had back in the early 20th century. The Government has learnt to leave the corporations well alone these days (I mean Microsoft manage to easily survive attacks against it about monopolising the OS market)

Looks like that's going to save AMD's arse if it is true, a bit like with Apple's investment into Sharp for LCD panels
