Let me guess, this was already debated and detailed in comp.arch at
least six months ago? ;-)

I have no idea, I dont read comp.arch.*
Every oligopoly/monopoly chip manufacturer is price fixing, like
NVidia/Intel/ATI/AMD and many others. How else would you call selling
Semprons, NForce SLI chips or Celerons?

Price fixing implies an agreements between business competitors.

Do you think ATI and NVIDIA discuss the price of GPUs together?

mm yes, there is no other explanation to absence of price war, top of the
line ATI/NVidia cards are $649 by a coincidence?
I suspect that they just agreed to sell low end cards ~$100, top models at
$649, and to not undercut prices.

no, but this is internet, right?
Ok I know now, but this is as misleading as the term "conspiracy" in US
legal system (means something diametrically different in Europe).
