|
| Comments from GoldenBear | posted - 10:24 PM CEST - Apr,30 2004 | | Well this is one ATI bashing session I can agree with...Their tv tuners are quite subpar. ATI should just drop TV tunners and stick to video cards. Leave tv tuners to Hauppauge. On another note, anyone else think that Visa is just bored (cc with displays, cc with RF)? |

| Comments from FX5900 | posted - 03:53 AM CEST - May,01 2004 | | Idiot, thanks man. I know I'm right. When are you going to join the nvidia family? You'll have to change your name from 'idiot' to 'leet' if you do. |
|
| Comments from idiot | posted - 01:39 PM CEST - May,01 2004 | | You know, I've never had any probs with nvidia. I only have objections to your stupid 'ati sucks, bow the king, nvidia, etc' style. |
|
| Comments from FX5900 | posted - 05:42 PM CEST - May,01 2004 | | That's sad. :-( No wonder you call yourself an idiot. I never say ATI sucks, but i acknowledge that nVidia is king. |
|
| Comments from GoldenBear | posted - 06:34 AM CEST - May,02 2004 | | Yeah, nVidia is king alright...king of deceit...no but seriously folks, nvidia is currently the best motherboard chipset maker for AMD right now so I give them props for that but I think their video cards have been subpar this last generation...I guess we will see what the FX6800 holds against the X8xx series from ATI |
