NVIDIA Corp., a leading graphics company, said this week Intel Corp., the world’s largest maker of semiconductors and a large supplier of mainboards, will bundle NVIDIA’s GeForce 6600 GT graphics cards with Intel’s mainboards featuring PCI Express x16 slot for graphics.

The move may bolster NVIDIA’s market share in the market of PCI Express x16 graphics cards among system builders. The approximate percentage of the market the company may gain and estimated number of graphics cards NVIDIA may sell bundled with Intel’s mainboards are unclear, though.

Earlier this year Intel bundled ATI’s “own-brand” RADEON X600-series graphics cards for PCI Express x16 interface with its mainboards based on i925X and i915P chipsets.

So far the highest share in the PCI Express market has belonged to ATI Technologies, who supplies around 100% of OEMs with its graphics cards.

Nvidia has been making some smart moves recently.

The 6600GT is a great card for the price, no doubt. Good job.
