My next card is a GeForce.
I can't play any games at all on my PC without a crash if I use the latest ATI drivers for XP. This has been for the last couple of revisions already.
I am forced to run the XP packaged drivers. Slower but no bluescreens. Of course no openGL games. Oh well.
I have a Radeon if you're curious.

On: Speed of Light Inconstant?

Beginning of article:

In October, 1971, American physicists took four super-accurate atomic clocks, kept two on the ground and put two on commercial jets flying at 1000 kmh in opposite directions around Earth.
When the planes landed, the scientists found what they were hoping for: The clocks on the high-speed journeys were ticking a few billionths of a second behind their stationary friends.


Isn't the speed of a jet negligible compared to the speed of the Earth rotating, revolving around the sun, the sun revolving around the center of the galaxy and the galaxy spiralling in the expansion of the universe?

Please explain.

Exactly. I don't like it, so I won't buy it. The power of the consumer wins again.
