Would this make it more difficult to use an Nvidia video card with an AMD processor? If so, I don’t like that. ---

> [@JaysGreenLX](#): > > Would this make it more difficult to use an Nvidia video card with an AMD processor? If so, I don’t like that. Intel should buy Nvidia now… Hahha… I doubt Intel will be letting ATI build motherboards from thier CPU’s now. This changes a lot of things if it does happen. ---

Hm. Maybe AMD will help ATI with my blue-screen and random DLL problems. Supposedly the newest version of ATI Catylist Control Center (or whatever it’s called) is the culprit. I’ve always used AMD processors, unless it’s in my laptop - where I didn’t get much of a choice based on the other factors. ---
