I voted for Nvidia as they are always lying, cheating, manipulating, bribing and using dirty tactics. Regarding Intel and AMD - they are not innocent as well, but they are not aggressive like Nvidia. In end of the day, they are all playing dirty, but Nvidia is doing it on wider and daily basis.

I voted nVidia, because I dislike their aggressive marketing strategies (buying out developers) and their ridiculous promotion campaigns (too bad it works though, opportunistic capitalists).

I go for red.

Nvidia.. They have always found ways to get software vendors to optimize games only for their cards. TWMTBP program is good proof of that.

One thing that AMD did that I did not like was when they stopped production of the socket 939 CPUs right after AM2 came out. Some people had really good 939 machines and were cut off from very possible upgrades. Most people who it happened to moved to Core 2.

I wouldnt consider it as a dirty move, it seems like a stupid move instead.

I agree, so instead of writing what regen wrote in a different way, I will just quote his sayings.

I'm baffled at how AMD could possibly be dirtier than Intel or even equally dirty. Intel's filth envelopes the world. Unfortunately they happen to make really good products even if the pricing scheme doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
