Its like intel and amd are playing monopoly. What will they buy next? I presume this is because intel are considering to buy havok. AMD seem like they want to join in the fight. They could come out with some amazing cpu/gfx/physics card and it be great... or not lol.

With intel and amd now fighting for physics we could see some good things. Or a very big flop

They haven't bought anything, the article even states that "AMD has considered buying Ageia" keyword being considered.

OOps ill edit that.

Is that a good or bad thing? I think if amd take up agiea intel may take havok and we could be seeing a good war for physics too. But if intel win again then amd will be crushed and i beleive havok is better then agiea?

Pretty pointless without any evidence and a lot of bias. I think amd will come back purely because they ahve to. They will come back with something which has such a good price/performance that people will be buying it over the intel/nvida equivilant. Amd have always been cheaper as far as i can remember (which is not as far back as some of you people lol). Intel have always been moer expensive.

haha trying to take down as many companies with them as they can huh?

But to be honest, i doubt they paid much for ageia so tis probably not a bad investment with a chase for a brake through.
