Boy am I glad that I am reading this thread.

As weird as it may sound, I was going to go buy a new laptop, amd64  
with nvidia.  In fact the explanation given by Oliver helped push me  
over to AMD in addition to past experience has always been good with  
them.  I also had the idea that AMD had purchased a chunk of nvidia  
which made the decision make even more sense to me.  Luckily  I saw  
these, before rather that after the fact.

I understand from this that the nvidia will not run the new xorg-7.2  
with AMD64?  Am I reading this right or am I just having a case of  
PRE-buyers remorse?  ;)

Thanks,
