NVidia On The Slide?
Published: Friday, July 11, 2008 | By: WillWell, we have all seen the Nvidia stock prices drop very rapidly over the last couple weeks. Then it looks like it is time for the wolves to come in. One ugly wolf that likes to chew on anyone when they are down is Rambus. Well they are getting ready with a lawsuit against NVidia.
"The lawsuit, filed in federal court in California, accuses that several Nvidia products with memory controllers infringe 17 Rambus patents. The products include chipsets, graphics processors, media communication processors and multimedia applications processors."
Does anyone hear a theme song like me? "Kick'em when their up, Kick'em when their down".

Gainward to launch AMD Radeon products
Published: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | By: DennisThis is some good news!
Though you have to wonder, will the cards still be red?
Graphics card vendor Gainward, previously an exclusive AIB partner of Nvidia, has begun working with AMD and will launch ATI Radeon HD GPU-based products soon, according to market sources.
Initially Gainward plans to launch Radeon HD 4850 and 4870-series products, and will follow HD 3800-series cards later, the sources said.
Gainward's decision to launch ATI Radeon HD products indicates that the market for AMD graphics chips is good and more traditionally Nvidia only vendors may follow suit, market watchers commented. Whether Nvidia decides to try and woo partners back with reduced pricing or other incentives bears further observation, the watchers noted. -
nVidia stocks fall in after hours trading
Published: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | By: DennisThis hits close to home, being a stock holder and all. However this is hardly unexpected. In fact given how many companies have "jumped ship" and started producting ATI cards its no wonder.
The company also said it plans to take a charge of $150 million to $200 million during the quarter to cover anticipated warranty, replacement and other costs related to certain defective prior-generation products used in notebook computers.
Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) sank 20.9%, to $14.27, in after-hours trading. The stock had closed down 72 cents at $18.03.We can only hope for a quick rebound, at which point buy early and buy often.
