do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Hm... Aside from the last bit, this is all interesting...


I was trying to decide between a GF FX 5200 and a Radeon 9200, now there's nothing to worry about. :D

For the last time.  That's an entirely unconfirmed report from someone who is reportedly is full of BS.  If you use that as your criteria for choosing a card, well.....

Well? Weren't you all saying that the Radeon was better than the 5200 anyway?

They're the same price, if anyone wants to enlighten me, I'm listening.

I also use a TI4200 card - trouble free and keeps up with everything I want to play.  Shrike has a very good point:  one suspect source is not researching the products.

better the devil you know, than the devil you don't


meaning... if you know a ATI card to work great for you, and know them pretty well, etc, get an ATI card... if you know a nVIDIA card to work for you, use that..Or, if you wanna switch over from ATI to Nvidia, or vice-versa.. it's up to you..
it all boils down to one thing... Choice

it's your money that you're spending... choose what's best for your needs and price-range.... :nod:

and not fall to the evils of rumor and heresay... i just said about the next XBOX having a ATI chipset because i /read/ that in a magazine, and has been confirmed officially...

Try looking at a Radeon 9000 (or the pro variant) they offer "bang for your buck" in my opinion

I hope that is false. If it is true and Nvidia goes under because of it, ATI will become a monopoly in the gaming video cards industry and that could be devastating. Competition between companies is important and something you don’t want to lose.

He speaks truth. ;) Check out the thread - it's long, but worth it if you want to get to the bottom of this.
