Actually, I heard it was nVidia, since nVidia fixes a lot of issues
Intel has with its platform and GPUs in software (going back to the
whole "driver" thread ;-).

And I believe it would _not_ be in AMD's favor to buy ATI either.
Unless AMD really believes that it can make HTX a GPU expansion standard
and it will become widespread.  In that case, the only way it will
happen is if AMD buys a GPU vendor like ATI.
