God how can you badmouth ATI, nvidia?
There bloodlust for each other keeps Vid card prices down.
IMO, Nvidia is mainly a better product. But ATI could win my favor, we will see how the 9800 goes
Last ATI I owned sucked ass. But that was a ATI RAGE PCI Turbo that came in my old compaw. That was 6 years ago

The 9800's been out for some time, fg."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

umm catalyst drivers? Just cuz somethings out doesnt mean **** or anything about its future. If the drivers suck you just have an expensive doorstop. (Example: VooDoo5500)
umm and if a month is a long time...umm..
Hardware is only half of the graphics solution, there needs to be good driver support for a product to excel.Comment

Nice save attempt.

Why, there is no need for SCSI for home-pc's.
The newest IDE have 10.000/TpM and AFAIK are still cheaper then the SCSI ones.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Serial ATA
My new motherboard has it (even two connections for external Serial ATA drives), but I can't utilise it as there's no drives available in Finland for the moment (for some odd reason).

The cool thing about SCSI is you can daisy-chain 15 devices to a single channel controller. Unlike IDE, the protocol has virtually no CPU overhead. Even though Ultra160 has a top transfer rate of 160MB/s and SATA has 150MB/s, SATA could never achieve that speed with a 20%-25% CPU overhead.Originally posted by alva
