    Giving up on Nvidia

    I was following www.eVGA.com 's count down expecting there to be preorders on at least one type of fx.... but there was nothing! All they did was list the different models that would be available. What a marketing ploy. www.newegg.com says that they'll be carrying ultras on the 14th of this...

    Hey all, I don't know how many of you are itching to know who's going to take the crown for 3d performance when the N30 is officially released, but I thought this site I stumbled on would make many of you happy. They actually tested out the N30 against the R300. It's a nail biter...looks...

    Nvidia Nforce chipset networking question

    Hey everyone, I just bought a new mobo with an Nforce 1 chipset on it...I was shocked to see that when I hooked up the onboard nic card to my switch that the switch did not indicate that it and the nic were talking full duplex! What's up with that.... Is nvidia pulling legs in saying they...

    ATI driver support for Linux ? ?

    Does ATI create drivers for Linux apps? Can't seem to find any on their website (www.ati.com). A dual boot (linux / windows) machine only looks to be half useful from what it seems so far. thx
