It was another relatively flat week for our list after the big gains in July, although the NASDAQ still managed to close up a percent and end above the psychologically significant 2,000 mark for the first time since early October 2008.

The one conspicuous gainer was graphics maker NVIDIA, which reported stronger than expected revenues at the end of last week and would have posted a quarterly profit if it didn't need to keep spending money on sorting out its Connectorgate crisis in which weak material used in manufacturing has caused high failure rates in some of its products.

Investors were apparently not too bothered about this unexpected additional charge and were more enthused by a pickup in the graphics market and NVIDIA's continuing diversification into the handheld device market with its Tegra chipset.

The only company to move conspicuously in the other direction was Intel, which saw its shares lose value towards the end of last week. NVIDIA's good fortunes may have played a part and the criticism of the investigation leading up to Intel's record EC fine also broke at around the same time. Maybe investors were hoping for a stronger indictment of the ruling.

This may be good for the prices of the GT300 chip and hopefully we'll be able to get one for under £300 at launch… although it can only be hoped… nVidia love to rip everyone off, having said that i have only ever owned their cards!
