Thats what I always thought as well, but then AMD goes and buys ATI, so who knows.

I have always like ATI's picture better, AMD however is lacking in the cpu market. So AMD bottlenecks their own graphics cards in a dual card settup

Price is an issue for me as im a teenager. Ya if i had thousand of dollars and wanted to show it off i would go for an intel but, I am anything but a fan of intel.

price is an issue for me, but i would still go nvidia.

if you cant afford an 8800gt then maybe you would get a hd3850 or 3870. but wait! you could get the 8800gs or 9600gt. which are equal. so nividia

Not me! I'd still rather stick with AMD and i dont think anything would change my mind.

By far ATI graphics cards are better on laptops, and Nvidia graphics cards are better on desktops. GeForce cards i've had in my laptops have been so undersupported and never worked properly.

Graphics on laptops are not designed to rival desktops anyway. The whole design of the laptop is for work on the road, so gaming is not very well accommodated in laptops, if you game on a laptop, then you have too much money to waste. And Intel and Nvidia all the way, the extra you spend on it is worth it, Intel CPUs perform better at stock and they can overclock much higher than any AMD CPUs and the same goes for the graphics side, the overclocking head room is quite big for Intel and Nvidia.

Well Put! Makes sense but, i would still rather go with AMD. Like i said before if i had the money i would switch out my mobo and go buy a Q6600 but, thats not the case.

at the moment I liem Ati better. I find it stupid that you have to geta 600Watt powersupply to run a grafic's card, and a 1kW one for SLI for example. sorry, but imo grafic's cards are going in the complete wrong direction there. I picked a 3870 over the 8800gt(s) because of the lower power consumption, and I definately dont regret making that choice.

Well. Like most of the time I've been into computers, it's been nVidia, but now that I have researched more I've realized that ATI is better. This is because every ATI card that has similar to any nVidia card specs is much cheaper. I'm not really sure how good ATI is because I've never used it, but I've herd it's good. Another thing is that now ATI came out with the best video card in the world. It is the 3870 x2. It much better than the nVidia 8800Ultra, and still it is like $300 cheaper. That's why I now prefer ATI more. Imagine having 3870 x2 quad-crossfire (crossfire is the same thing as nVidia's SLI, but for ATI). The graphics would make your eyes bleed.
