Why the hell would NVIDIA stop? That would be excellent business sense. "Despite what our customers - the people who throw money at us - may want, we're going to give AMD the finger and stop making chipsets for them. So THERE!"

Are you going to assume that NVIDIA will stop making chipsets for Intel chips because (gasp!) Intel makes their own chipsets and (double gasp!) even makes fairly competent graphics hardware?

Intel's graphic chips are the lowest common denominator, crap.

Because Intel can make 45nm parts, they could be a formidable competitor to Nvidia, but up to this point, they make lousy graphic chips, for the uninformed masses.
