Hahaha, finaly.. ATI is now a Silicon Valley company too! Now all we to do is buy out VIA and SiS and all will belong to the golden state.

AMD makes a great product and I cant wait to see what they do now that they own the company formerly known as ATIs resources.

WTF? :confused:

Don't worry. He's never been on a date, had sex, kissed a girl...and probably never will.


Crusader: Picture revealed
He did score once though

I don't know, him and Gstanfor seem to be getting along well. Makes ya wonder what the "G" stands for.....

Probably GREG.. before you get yourself banned son.
As if theres anything wrong with being what you are insinuating anyway?
You really shouldnt use your intended connotation in that manner as its disrespectful and you yourself might very well be "what the G stands for", or your kids someday.

So might want to change your childish attitude before someone pwns you into the curb in real life.. as if you have the gaul to say such things in the real world anyway, boy.
^^^^^
OMG!! A Crusader post without Nvidia cheerleading!! It's not that far from the tree however....
Probably GREG.. before you get yourself banned son.
Why? Was he that "good friend of yours" that you called once hearing about the ATI/AMD merger to "share the excitment with?"
You really shouldnt use your intended connotation in that manner as its disrespectful...
Heaven forbid I insult the guy who has someone's name replaced with, "batshit" in his sig.
...and you yourself might very well be "what the G stands for", or your kids someday.
I voted against Bush's Gay-Marriage ban, happy now?

I implied that "G" stands for "Gay" therefore explaining why you two will defend eachothers trollings even if they don't make sense. If he is, that's fine and it doesn't concern me, just explains why you two are so keen showing unyielding support for eachothers ramblings.

You are correct in that it was out of context with this section of the forum and for that I apologize. I guess sometimes I myself fall prey to some insulting in an attempt for some returned humor.

Excuse me Josh, but I'd like you to point out a post of mine where I've ever defended Crusader (or Wreckage etc)...

Just as I'd like you to point out a post to where you've argued against them. You tolerate their "fanaticness" just because it glows green.

Wow this is exciting! PLEASE GOD -- I hope CCC gets a face lift...not just an added green color scheme :p

I look forward to their new 'mascot' -- Emerald. Or maybe do Emerald and Ruby wrestling!

Probably because they're honest. :p


Probably a PR contract that Intel held with ATI that remained and they have to honor it even after this merger. Maybe.

There definitely room for at least 2 in this market.
So I havent been fretting the possibility like the ATI crones have been. If ATI goes, who cares.. this is capitalism.. someone else will step up, and ATI and their fanboys will have been vanquished.

One the first point, that's my thoughts precisely :D The fanatics hate picked picked on though - they don't take the medicine they were so keen to dish out in the nv3x era happily at all (not that that will prevent me rubbing their faces in it every opportunity I get...)

On the second point fanatics are like vermin - impossible to eradicate. 97% of all ATi fanatics were previously 3dfx fanatics, and if ATi goes under they'll all just abandon ship and board whatever new one comes along, and keep right on attacking nvidia as they do so...

If they were to shut their cakeholes, they might find I'd leave them alone.

It's not that you barely notice him, it's that you don't want to argue with another heavy Nvidia supporter because as long as he likes Nvidia as much as you do it doesn't matter. You complain about "fanatics" doing the same things he does, yet don't ever argue or call him out on half of his FUD.

probably an oversight . . . evidently the link is removed

and theInq has a 'take' on it [of course] :p

AMD recommends Core 2 Duo
Someone just removed the direct link at www.ati.com where AMD endorsed the "Best Gaming PC" 2006 powered with Core 2 Duo, an Intel CPU.

ATI can even get you some special deals on the four PCs. The best catch is that three from four have the Core 2 Duo inside.

Two from four machines are now HP, as Voodoo PC is no more. I think that someone at AMD needs to check these promotions and we would not be surprised if they vanish soon.

Get them while you can, they are hot and waiting for you here
http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/promotions.html

and in related news

No job cuts at ATI says AMD
IN THE FACE OF claims to the contrary, AMD Chief Technology Officer Phil Hester told the INQ that he knew of no job cuts looming since AMD's acquisition of ATI.

He said he had no idea where such stories could have come from. The two sections are to remain autonomous enough as to require keeping on all the existing staff, he said, as AMD finally, and completely, swallowed ATI this morning.

AMD also announced today its vision for the future, titled 'Fusion', which will see the CPU and GPU merge onto a single chip to harness, providing a cheaper and faster platform for every facet of technology. We can look foward to this more performance-per-watt-per-dollar techology near the of 2008 or early 2009.

In an interesting twist, despite all indications that ATI has 'gone green' the brand is not completely dead as all discrete graphics products from AMD will still carry the ATI branding.

QFT. I'd much rather see AMD, a great CPU manufacturer, and ATI, a great GPU manufacturer, merge and make one revolutionary kick-arse product rather than rely on Nvidia to make a CPU even remotely competitive with AMD. Although, maybe I'm underestimating Nvidia's CPU development. I'd love to be surprised.

No, It's just that his post in that thread was good and I happened to agree with. the authorage of the post was largely irrelevant God knows I've even managed to agree with you at least once or twice in the past.

I wasn't debating the fact that you agreed with him, I was debating your claim of "barely noticing" him when you clearly have chanted behind some of his rants.

I honestly don't care what you think josh. Your precious ATi is no more and nvidia is stronger than ever despite the best efforts of the fanatics, and none of your rants will change that one iota.

it could well signal the demise of nvidia and their undoing . . .

nvidia may have bitten off far more than they can chew . . it'll be interesting to see how this "CPU" plays out

i started a thread about it in CPU Forum

Nvidia at work on combined CPU with graphic - On 65nm in 2008

by doing this they will turn all the major CPU players - intel/amd maybe even ibm against them . . . who wants to help nvidia aggressively compete with them?

intel/amd hold all the x86 patents

expect nvidia to get shut down . . . hard

they asked ppl what they thought of their page and i had to put my 2 cents in...i just told them that everyone knew that they had bought out ati they didnt need to put amd on every picture and every graphic....i thought it was pretty cheesy
