The future of integrated graphics processors lies somewhere on the dies of future processors, that much is a certainty. However, this creates a big problem for NVIDIA, whose chipset business will be out, of well, business. Beating everybody to the punch, the company announced yesterday that it is ceasing all development on future chipsets, citing unfair business practices from Intel.

Well, nVidia might not be good at opening up their source code or letting third parties write drivers, but they DO make good drivers themselves. I never had problems with nVidia drivers when I had a dedicated nVidia chip; we're having problems at work with the ATI graphics cards that we don't apparently have the free drivers for, and the proprietary ATI drivers (better than they were in terms of installation, etc) are causing everything to briefly and randomly lock up. THAT took a while to trace back to the ATI drivers...
nVidia (seems) to have 64-bit drivers, while AMD apparently wants you to install 32-bit drivers with 32-bit libraries in place to use them. And they're (AMD) releasing new drivers about once a month, that mostly repeatedly try to fix dual-monitors and problems with their own control console.
