this could be bad for ATI?

Nvidia wouldnt be able to buy,would create a monopoly on the video card industry.

Well if AMD has to sell.. what else can it do?

There is no reason why Nvidia couldn't buy up ATI/AMD... this is no different than XM and Sirius joining up. The only thing about Nvidia is there are other card builders out there so its not a full Monopoly. ATI/AMD has nothing working for them at this point... Intel has a major foothold on the processor consumers and is basically holding the candle helping guide Nvidia to this purchase.

this isnt necessarily a good thing though.. because if Nvidia does take the monopoly they can also charge whatever they like due to no competition... there may be other companies but nothing as big as Nvidia..
