   Hmm.. I'm not sure I'm understanding this very well. Basically, they bought a lot of technological assets when they acquired ATI, which is now a year older and worth less than they paid for it.Is this news? I mean, to anyone that has ever bought any new technology, its simply understood that with in months, maybe even weeks, its going to be outdated and worth less than you paid. In fact, any company with a functioning accounting staff will claim "depreciation" on all their assets to receive a healthy tax deduction come filing season.

   This really hurts..I use to love AMD and ATI. But now as I'm sure most people are moving to NVIDIA for the graphics. ATI isn't even close especially with the two new cards NVIDIA put out. Plus AMD processors are still behing even with the new Phenom or whatever. Intel is still riding high. I know my next processor will be intel for the first time since I could build computers and the only thing I wish intel and nvidia could get a SLI deal going. i really want that on one of those new intel boards. I hope AMD can pull somethin outta there hat soon but it doesn't look good at all!

   amd/ati can't handle the competition, which is both good and bad for us.The good - prices are really low, the only reason we can build a super-cheap PC that can GAME good is AMD and ATI.Bad- Intel prices going up, competition = faster technology upgrades.
