Nvidia Waves Away VIA Buy Rumors

Seems that someone out there is trying to cause trouble for nVidia by spreading rumors?

Nvidia is dismissing reports that it is looking to acquire Taiwanese chipmaker VIA Technologies -- despite persistent rumors about changes strategy ahead for the company.

The most recent reports in Taiwan's DigiTimes claimed the companies discussed three possible scenarios: a strategic alliance; a complete acquisition; or the purchase of just VIA's processor division.

According to the publication, which cited sources at motherboard vendors, the talks fell apart because VIA wanted too much money.

Only time will tell if any of this stuff materializes.  Though if anything from the past is ever true when companies look to buy other companies their stocks go crazy, get unstable and are prime targets for hostile takeovers.  First AMD and now VIA. who would possibly want these companies out of the way??
