I didn't realize that Intel doesn't make any standalone cards that is most unfortunate if they don't. I was kind of amused by the comment Nvidia made in the ZDNet article that writing a "good" video driver is very hard to do and beyond the capabilities of a bunch of hobbyists/open source community (that's not an exact quote). It sounds just like something I heard in the late 90s I don't remember the quote but I think MS said something to the effect of writing an Operating System was far too complex a task to be done by a bunch of hobbyists and part timers....
