ATI has not even come close to having the issues nvidia has. I will not ever buy another nvidia card or any product with nvidia

Maybe you forget about the nvidia vista driver issue, that all the vista BSOD issues were from the horrible drivers nvidia cranks out.

"If installed properly with adequate heating one shouldn't have problems" - lol, so now were trying to keep cards warm? :P

The problem with the "if a card is defective..." sentiment is that if you take it back you end up with another card that overheats 2 months down the road.

are you serious? ATIs released the source code for its cards last year, they have been getting better by the week if you use the nightly builds (i'm a tester). Performance is comparable to, and in some cases, exceeds NVIDIAs offerings, which remains stubbornly closed source.]]>May 7th 2009 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/
PLEASE
ATI and Linux don't mix, I've used both companies cards in Linux and unfortunately ATI lags behind big time, and the "bad" guys nVidia with their closed source drivers are an example of how a company can stay closed source and still make it on the FOSS world, hell the Catalyst drivers are not being supported anymore by some Distros because of horrible performance, and the OS ATI drivers are even worse if you happen to want to use your video card for anything involving 3D. As much as we need AMD to survive, they are doing their best to make sure it doesn't happen, \Intel just needs to sit back and wait the way things are going]]>May 7th 2009 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/sure that might be true, but it is also true that you cannot buy an intel mobo + cpu that outperforms an amd mobo + cpu at the same price point. and really, people dont just buy cpus. they buy all the parts they need to make the damn thing turn on]]>May 9th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 7th 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 7th 2009 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 9:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/

As IBM already sells number of AMD based servers, I do not think that the assimilation would have any impact. It might have been different if IBM and AMD were direct competitors.]]>May 7th 2009 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/May 6th 2009 10:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/

Will it perform like a i7 920, no. Accord to the hundreds of benchmarks that went up release day it will fall short about 8% to 11% average. Will I care, hell no. Will I use the $40 I save to celebrate the new build with SUSHI, yes.

AMD Phenom II 955 = celebrate with Sushi.
Intel i7 920 = celebrate with Ramen noodles.
Intel i7 940 = not enough money to buy the ram and motherboard that I need to upgrade.

AMD it is.]]>May 7th 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/06/amd-reorganizes-ati-now-full-assimilated/

-they've got to duh?... keep their "supplier" promises this time, and please AMD stop with the 5000 different(high-end) CPU sockets already. make 'ya know "...one socket to rule them all...".
-and from now on AMD should always remeber that "...no news is good news..." -so shutup about the great things if you can't deliver it in under 2 years.
also, what should already BE :
1./ where is my AMD motherboard already?, AMD has had everything in place for that one now !
( test the waters, build something even ASUS can't refuse to want to sell ... :)
2./ where's the AMD equivalent ATOM -smasher ? for ______sakes. !!! those windows are quickly closing. -comon Dirk.
3./ oh ya, talkin' 'bout "Windows...closing..." don't get me wrong, the XBOX is great but AMD has got to also keep up the support(as in drivers, development, help, ...) into all the UNIX's -aka Linux/BSD/OpenSolaris and be there for Apple' hardware/Graphics needs too -'cause well you never know.
ahhh Yes, the "*ix's", you know, all those "other/non-proprietary/FREE-to-use" NetOS's out there, (well except APPLE), which eventually will be 100% of our PC world experience.
-you know it.
