For the most part, you're probably right. But because cd's only contain sound recorded at 41,000Hz (or is it 48k?), they lose some very minute amount of information. Where as vinyl, being analog, has no gaps whatsoever. Is the difference descernable to the human ear? I doubt it.
First the turbolinux announcement, and now this. Seems like a lot of distros are starting to get corporate backing. Hopefully this competition will only lead to better software for linux zealots everywhere:) First post?
That's close, but not quite right. Somewhere sitting around my house is an old issue of Boot magazine (I think they morphed in maximum pc, or something like that), anyways, in this issue they had a big 3d showdown between all of the various cards of that time. From what I can remember, the Voodoo 2(yes it was out at the same time as the i740) won for speed, and the i740 won for visual quality. On the fps graphs, the i740 came third, beaten by the Voodoo 2, and the Riva 128.
