Hmmmm, I hope this does not mean bad news for all us gamers and ATI/NVidia GPU users.

I wish the goverment would spend more money on curbing crack, kiddie porn, robberies
and murder. But no, they've got to waste money investigating companies that expand our
minds.

and with intel owning 75% of the market, why don't they get one, or at least, why don't they know if they got one. Kinda stupid i think, what could they do wrong, what did they use a patented silcon chip making process wrong or something?? kinda weird.

But since the markets down, i suggest if your into stocks at all, thinking about investing in one of the two, since it will go right back up when those nice R600 chips hit and all the next nvidia series comeout, and thats a jump, especially if there low on price now.

Yah they said that intel has not been contacted yet, weird, as they also make graphic solutions.

lol I wonder if they will even go after S3 as they still produce GPUs and have some new ones slated to come out.

And ya you are right Slaymate they really need to focus on the important stuff, ya know nothing major just things like the massive drug problem and murder, nothing to big
