I own quite a few Nvidia motherboards....I Don't just fudzilla much, this is a huge claim if you ask me.

Does this only affect PCI cards or do the PCI-e cards fall into this patent? If they do, then this is a problem, if not, who cares? How many people own a PCI video card anyway?

Majority of store bought PC's are onboard. Majority of enthusiasts are on PCI-e and maybe a few laggers on AGP. PCI is a poor performance card as it is.

I wonder what it's like living in Fudd land .....

PCI prefetch will ever see the light of day outside of the companies again.

LOL so i see some lawsuits against 3rd party sites that host drivers files....
