It's hilarious how Slashdot posted that year old news.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

/me hugs his Nvidia card.

I'm actually pretty confused here. Who plays DVDs on their computers? Doesn't everyone rip them to a RAID volume, compress them with a handy codec and use them that way? Or is that just me?

Never noticed that. My MSI Ti4200 uses Conexant CX25871 encoder, and it works just fine for DVD playback. The CX25870 must be getting rather old, then, since my card predates 8x AGP. And if someone is running a GF3, they don't really have much of a reason to use the latest and greatest driver, then, do they?

Actually I did.  Sean Connery on celebrity jeopardy to Alex Trebek, if I'm not mistaken.

OH NOSSS nVIDIA ARE THE EVIL.

Kazan, please grow up, you don't like a certain brand of graphics card then that's fine but I don't think anyone really cares what YOU say about them. I've had nVidia cards for the past two generations and I've ALWAYS found them to be stable, reliable and fast.

Doesn't stop me drooling like a madman over the 9800xt though, I go where the value is best.

i agree, bloody hell, if you don't like nividia cards, get an ATI one, it's THAT simple..

it's not like your LIFE depends on nVidia or somesuch, does it?
