Xabre Graphics Card Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the first-fun-to-read-graphics-card-review dept.

Daniel Rutter writes: "Graphics cards using the SIS Xabre chipset don't seem to have quite made it to the retail market in most of the world yet, but they're on sale now here in Australia. I've checked out Triplex's shiny XabrePRO card. It's weird. Not just because it's silver, in typical Triplex fashion. It's also got weird drivers. Not bad drivers. Just... weird. And it makes a weird noise. Seriously." Check out those screenshots, and wonder.

    If you hate the British spellings so much, why promote it?

    sabre (sbr)
    n. & v. Chiefly British
    Variant of saber.

    'Sabre' is one of the alternate commercial spellings you seem to hate so much.

    It spelled saber, if we're feeling picky and trollish. Get your facts right.

    These are the official trademarks. You can't legally trademark common words like 'word' or 'windows', as the Lindows case has shown.

    Here! Here! I totally agree! I mean, I revel in the amount of obscure geek knowledge I posess, but it would be nice if some things were explained in plain English right from the outset, without having to research what everything may or may not mean. But then, I guess that's what separates the Net users from the AOL lusers. So, Long Live ambiguousity! Um, or something. Slashdot rules!
