Hey i was wondering what performs better in which system?
AMD with nVidia
AMD with ATI
Intel with nVidia
Intel with ATI?

which is the best for each system, and i personaly have both kinds of cards (5900se and 9600xt) and right now i have it intel nvidia and amd ati, was wondering if i should flip flop
 
The 5900SE is the better card, so put it with the better processor. Cards aren't fickle about who made the processor.
 
In reality it really doesnt matter. But if you want an answer(FROM FANTASY LAND) well here it is:

the best AMD mobos are made by nVidia so if you get an AMD chip get an nvidia motherboard and if you want everything you have to match nice nice (you girl you) then get an nvidia videocard and yse the kick ass Soundstorm thats on board and as good if not better then Audigy.

if you go intel, well intel makes the best MoBos on that side of the coin, a good 875 based mobo would be nice. Intel and ATI have been buddy buddy lately and would seem to be a good match.

Now back to reality: It really doesnt matter. As you see ALL my systems are AMD/nvidia/Ati Systems and all run like a dream. Their is no magic combo unless you want pure perfomance so the following would probably be the best combo.

AMD Athlon64 3400+
nForce 3 MoBo
ATI Radeon 9800XT
