I'm not quite sure what to say, so I'll just post a link, and a quote:

Nvidia shares rose $2.32 to $30.62 in afternoon Nasdaq trade. Some 20 million shares changed hands, about double the three-month daily average. Investors have been speculating that Nvidia might be acquired since July, when Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE:AMD - news) agreed to buy Nvidia rival ATI Technologies Inc. (ATYT.OQ) for $5.4 billion. Rumors of such a transaction resurfaced on Wednesday, spreading quickly across Wall Street trading desks, according to three options market participants.

They speculated that Intel would make an official announcement last night. Has anybody heard anything?

Intel buying ATI, and AMD buying Nvidia would have made alot more sense. Things are really starting to get wierd... What would be the reasoning in AMD purchasing Nvidia and Intel purchasing ATi? The invert isn't very logical according to most business analyst. Now, Nvidia purchasing Transmeta group makes alot of sense and strengthen their position in the x86 market. (Considering Transmeta nor Nvidia have produce an x86 processor. They do, however produce processors that are capable of excuting x86 code.) |[size=1][url=http://forums.2cpu.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=279831#post279831][color=yellow]FAQ's[/url][/color][/size]|Heatware-Remedy{WcS}|Dual760|Beerology|

#39326 Posted on: 10/05/2006 05:19 PM maybe AMD might be buying NVIDIA as well, so they have both vendors in thier hands ATi as nVIDIA. Best of both worlds. Dunno if this is a possibillity, but strange things do happen.

#39332 Posted on: 10/06/2006 07:11 PM Same as with the AMD/ATI deal, I'll believe it when it's official. Until then it's all speculation and rumour. Even if the deal is intended, there're way too many things that can go wrong before the deal would be completed. #1: K8N-DL; Opty 280's; Ninja HSF's; 3GB Corsair PC3200; 2ea Seagate 400GB IDE; ATI 4670; Coolermaster 810 case
