  • AMD + ATI = potentially rubbish for Linux.

    As for teh topic, is it spam perhaps?

  • Good move for what?

    amd cpu and ati gfx card? In windows maybe, in linux no. I would never recomend ati to anyone in any os atm. Ati, sadly, just cant seem to make solid drivers for their products and their linux support is (from what i read.. never tried it myself) plain rubbish.

    i dont think theres mutch of a diffrance in how you compine intel or amd cpus with nvidia or ati cards in general from a hardware point of view. Thats more up to the individual mobo and gfx card in terms of preformace and stability.

    I disagree.

    AMD getting involved in ATI might very well result in us getting decent drivers for Linux finally, wich would be a _very_ good thing.

  • I have AMD and ATI Radeon 9200 working great on Xandros Linux (debian) but my graphics driver on Win XP crashes on a weekly basis. Usually when playing Nexuiz. :x

    Oh AMD is gettin _involved_ in ATI? well thats another matter then.. lol Yes that definitly sounds like a nice thing.

    They are not just getting involved.. AMD buys ATI rub and stub if i got it right.

  • NVidia said it's a good move, as in future there will remain only one manufacturer of CPU chipsets and GPUs that will support AMD and Intel Processors - Nvidia! Must be, ATI will be forced to stop their engagement for Intel chipsets. Now, that's what they said.

    For all my fellas using Notebooks with ATI chips and running on Linux things can only get better - hopefully :)

    That's one way of looking at it and I have considered that.

    The problem I see is that because currently AMD is considered the better processor for Linux (better for 64-bit), AMD may try to offer ATi graphics and core logic as being the components to use with it's graphics card. For Linux users that could mean:

    good processor = awful graphics and chipset drivers

    Whatever, I do hope that ATi's Linux drivers get better but for me (and from specs I've seen, many of your guys machines) I still feel it should be:

    AMD processor + nVIDIA chipset + nVIDIA graphics = Linux box

  • I like AMD, i like ATI HARDWARE ... not software, so if amd desides they have to fix the software of ATI, i think i'll be happy :)
    EDIT : AMD -> ATI
