nVidia already had the name for performance with K7 chipsets and IGP.

As an anecdote, I spent many hours with one nForce2 board trying to figure out what was not working - it turned out the IGP was flaky.

If they want to sell lots for lots of money it seems very odd for them to drop IGP, and therefore, the business sector. Unless they've decided to pass on the business desktop in favor of workstations.

If not for technical reasons, they could have dropped IGP for poor profit/effort ratio. nVidia likes good profit margins, and business sector wants the cheapest of the cheapest stuff. Selling lots for lots of money and making a small loss on each sale is definitely not fun!
