ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
ATi is bringing out their new card, the Radeon 9800 Pro, and all of the hardware review sites which depend on ATi's generosity for pre-release hardware have released their necessarily favorable reviews. Here's a few: Hothardware.com, Hexus.net, HardOCP.com, Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, Extremetech, PCWorld.
And i just bought a Radeon 9700...

Are you surprised? Vidcard technology is moving faster than game technology at this point. In the 18-24 months it takes a game to be developed you're looking at it go from being bleeding edge, to it being behind everyone else. Eventually someone is going to be burned by this cycle, and it most likely will be the "$400 every six month" video card manufacturers.
'Standards' in computing only impress those who are impressed by things like 'standards'.
I just heard some sad news on Howard Stern - adult film star and free-speech advocate Ron Jeremy was found dead in his California home this morning . There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him -- even if you didn't enjoy his films, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
God, I've hated all you fucking dorks ever since high school when I used to kick all your asses daily.
By the way, I'm not delivering your pizzas, I'm your fucking BOSS. Thats right, the socially well-adjusted become management. Tell yourselves whatever you like about how we are 'delivering your pizzas'.
Want to know why most of you can't find jobs? Its because of your anti-capitalist zealotry and your refusal to embrace the Win32 API.
I'm going to bang my supermodel wife now.

I would just like to state, for the record, that Barry Bonds is God. Thank you.
Every time I bu ATi I am disappointed. The drivers alway suck. I have an old All-in-Wonder Raedon which is sitting in a box because it will not run under Windows 98 2nd ed or 2000 or Xp. Their tech support refused to aknowledge that the card was faulty, instead every response I got from their tech support was - Read the FAQ. You know what the FAQs all said - turn off every feature on your mother board, throttle the card to minumum MHz and set AGP to 1 X. So I do all that and my system runs like a dog and the card still crashes the system every couple hours. Not again, I do not care about the bells and whisles, if I spend $250 on a video card then I expect it to run out of the box and to get phone tech support that will actually help me. Screw ATI, NVIDA al the way baby.
