    Will ATI go on to make a LeafGL card that's green?

      only after they make WindGL, EarthGL, and WaterGL.

      Then Captain Planet can come and save the day from the evil corporations!

    [i]Does your son by any chance model jet engine compressors on that thing? It's a total apples to oranges comparison! It's like saying that a 777 is more expensive more expensive than your Toyota.[/i]

    Not only that, but the Toyota is easier to parallel park and handles tight corners better.

    I just sold my left kidney so I could afford an nVidia 6800. I'm not selling a testicle just so I can upgrade my video card! Unless it gives me a 3fps framerate increase in Doom III, then I might consider it.
