    Question what was your first legit video card?

    Jazz Adrenaline Voodoo Rush 3D with 6Mb RAM. Should have kept it with the original box, now is a museum piece and its expensive and difficult to find. On those days I was only a teenager and didnt have money so I had to sell it to buy upgrades. :(

    ATI & XP SP3 = problems

    thats strange, here with a X1950XTX, and XP SP3, i use Catalyst 8.12 without CCC, use Ati Tray Tools instead, and everything works fine.

    ATI already taped out a 40nm chip

    Cos GPUs are much more complex and require better yields in order not to waste many GPUs in the wafer. CPUs have a lot of cache which is more likely not to fail.

    I think that even without step up program, like me cos im in Argentina, we could just buy the GT and in December, when GTS is released, update the BIOS of our GT and make it a GTS. Well, thats if we dont get a defective 16 shaders unit in the GT. But the bet is there. I would like to know...

    Radeon HD 3800s to be cheaper than 8800 GTs?

    I like VIVO capabilities in a video card, but I was looking forward to the 8800GT for the price. If ATI if 8% behind G92, and sells for 40 bucks less, Ill consider buying it.
