If you're going with nvidia cards, go for intel processors.

If you're going with AMD processors, go for ATI cards.

General rule of thumb.


Reasons would be nice.


Lets just say my MBP with an Intel Core 2 Duo and an ATi Radeon x1600 don't exactly get along well. Compared to my Intel Pentium D and Nvidia 7900GS, which get along fantasticly.

I'm not saying don't do it, just prepare for minor issues if you do (not constant, don't take my word for it).

Many people who have ATi graphics cards have AMD processors, and likewise for Nvidia cards and Intel processors.

If the case of AMD and Nvidia mix, Apple's MacBook Pro 3.0 would have an ATi card, but it has an Nvidia, because there's less issues and workarounds to complete to get them to work.
