What I don't understand is that it talks about Intel and AMD support for the interfaces, when I seem that it would be Nvidia and AMD/ATI, since it is regarding the video cards, rather than the CPUs. If you plugged a video card with DVI interfaces into a system with one of those processors...after their support lapsed, wouldn't they still work?

Yes it's no audio but for the rest it's supposed to be the same (well actually besides the network capaicty the new HDMI has)

What's strange for me is the fact that I just put together an Eyefinity setup with my current rig, and I had to use multiple DVI ports to accomplish this (along with a Mini DisplayPort adapter). Because I previously connected my single monitor with an HDMI cable, I kept thinking, "I'm not going backwards, am I?" But quite frankly, the image quality looks the same to me.

Read more at:Alas, poor VGA and DVI; we knew ye well. If those increasingly obsolete connection technologies hold a place near and dear to your heart, you might want to make it a point of going out and picking up a laptop or desktop sometime soon. It's looking like five years from now, DVI and VGA ports will join dinosaurs, VCRs and the Dodo in the pages of the history books, smothered by the more widespread HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces.
