The encryption is supposed to be very strong and you would have to re hack for each driver release.
Intel do make embedded video cards though. So they couldn't make a point in a court of law. If that "merger" would happen, Nvidia would be practically just like them. A company that produces CPU's, chipsets and graphics cards. Also the big thing here that you people fail to see is not this chipset business but rather Intel's and AMD's plan to embed video cards into their CPU's that"s what has gotten Nvidia so angry now. I can imagine that if a single core from one of those 6 cores processors that everyone is talking about would be optimized as a GPU and another one as a northbridge, taking into consideration that they work at 3Ghz and up, it would make a killer machine. That's the real threat here, but frankly I think it's a bit tricky to pull off. And I don't like the idea in general, I think that for now the graphics aspect of the PC should stay as it is...
