Heh. I guess "oh noes, this is teh endzors!" just makes better headlines 
or something. ;-)

They just bought ATi, so they can't be doing that badly. (Or, 
alternatively, ATi were doing *really* badly!)

That put me in a bit of a spot. I always buy AMD CPUs, and I always guy 
nVidia GPUs. So AMD buying ATi was a problem. Of course, currently AMD 
is nowhere in terms of CPU performance, so if I were to upgrade sometime 
soon, I'd have to go with Intel...

(Now and then I get these crazy ideas that I might buy a Mac or 
something... This usually wears off when I look at the price list.)
