NVidia Reportedly Will Exit Chipset Business
xav_jones sends along a story from X bit Laboratories claiming that NVidia is ready to quit making chipsets. That story links one from DigiTimes, which reports that NVidia has denied that it's getting out of the business. "[NVidia] is about to quit chipset business, which automatically means that the company's much-hyped multi-GPU SLI technology is either in danger or re-considered. Moreover, several mainboard makers have already ceased making high-end NVidia-based mainboards. [NVidia has]... reportedly decided to quit core-logic business to concentrate on development of graphics processors and following failure to secure license to build and sell chipsets compatible with Intel Corp.'s microprocessors that use Quick-Path Interconnect bus."
ummmmm....

Or at least has Gartner predicted it won't happen?
There, fixed that for you.

Nvidia doesnt support their Nforce chipsets. Folks like me, who are running Vista on their Nforce 3 boards learned that the hard way.
I wont miss Nvidia's chipsets, because i never thought they were serious about it in the first place.
