To each his own, I have had more problems with nVidia drivers and very few problems with ATI.

I can't wait until Microsoft buys out everyone...

I thought they already did.

nVidia for me: still have the old GeForce 2 MX 440/50 and still can play Morrowind, FarCry, and HL2 at good fps with my 2.4Gh Intel Celeron...
and I heard ATI cards have problems with Blender (VERRRY SLOOOOOOOW)

And when Micro$oft buys everyone out, it will be the end of Computers as we know them (Untill the Google OS and 50Gh Google processer, ending with Google buying Micro$oft, the Virus (creation), and Spyware 'companies')...

Market caps:

AMD 12 billion
nVidia 8 billion
ATI 4.5 billion

AMD can't afford nVidia

Out of curiosity where did you get those figures? I'm seeing different ones here

AMD 8.5 billion
nVidia 7 billion
ATI 5 billion

Maybe a non-linear currency conversion
