ATI is simply making AGP and PCI-E instead of PCI-E Bridged cards.
ATI does not have the upperhand. This results in those people wanting an ATI PCI-E card having to buy a new motherboard.
Both companies are providing solutions to current motherboards and PCI-E motherboards...I think they both deserve a high five.

I said cheater, not cheaper.
It wasnt a typo.
Either way, I prefer the idea of building cards for what thier made to run on, not using alternate hardware to make them work.
I'd buy either one tho, both will kick ass.
