i love ati, because their crap works better on macs....despite me fiying a card or two by overclocking them... stupid nvida and crappy drivers
@stof if i remember right durring the x8oo line (wich was not supposed to be a next gen card) atis troubles started, because their true replacement for the 9800line (r350 chipset?) ran into major problems and had to be shelved for a few years, and it latter came out as the x1600 (r4xx chipset).
its been awhile since i looked that up but there should be a good summer on the wikipedia, amd bought them just after all of those problems, but the graphics cards didnt suffer due to the set back till a year latter, now they are back on track in r&D
also have you been fallowing the major board problems nvida aparently has with its 8xxxx/9xxx line pretty bad stuff failure rates of over 40%
