nVidia/AMD Merger Announced

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-for-both-parties dept.

zombieking noted that AMD is merging with nVidia. The new company will be called AmVidia, and will be using non-MS operating systems exclusively to get around the problems they've been having with getting support from tier one OEMs.

    If they couldn't be clever, they could at least have been crude. Why couldn't it have been a merger between VAlinux, Gigabyte, nVidia and AMD.

    Now that's a system I'd buy...
