Actually Zendari I've had 3 6800NUs, 3 6800 GTs, and 2 7800GTXs. I would have had more R300 core cards than the three I had, but ATI never figured out how to make a dual card setup. :(
By the time theirs arrives (basically without AA at this point in time) I'll have had my rigs set up as SLI for a good long while and not much inclination to switch and be a Crossfire beta tester. (the name "ULi" leaves a very bad taste in my mouth, and for motherboards "ATI" doesn't thrill me either)

So you aren't "tired of the NV40" after 8 purchases?

I don't ever recall you chastizing Rollo for "hitting below the belt" whenever he went on one of HIS tirades. Or is it okay when he does it?

Your second runner up Creig. Working on the number one spot are we?

No. Just watching you defend Rollo time after time as if you were on his legal team. And I noticed you sidestepped my question. Or is it okay with you when he hits below the belt or provokes a flamefest then protests innocence, that his wording was misunderstood?

Creig, you just answered your own question. No need for me to sidestep at all. Because as far as I can see, All I have to do is change the wording around and it works to describe you. Watch this: "Just watching you defend bfg10k time after time as if you were on his legal team." So it's one of those, pot kettle black type things. So why don't you just back off there Mr. High and Mighty. Your doing the exact thing your accusing me of. You can say your not, but everyone can see the irony here plainly.

Now, as long as I've known Rollo, he has initially tried to give good information about products he buys and tests out. It consumes his time and many folks in here are happy that he does it. It's when his findings are read by people who have a problem with one company doing better than the other (for some wacked reason) and provoke him. You can't blame him for being swift to cut throats when he is constantly badgered by you, bfg, and many many others. I never see you, bfg, or many of the others offer anything to these forums except your criticism's. Hardly any good information comes from you guys.
You scour the vid forum and ONLY stop when you see something you disagree with and poke at the person who started the thread when it's not necessary. Am I wasting my breathe here? I think I am. I can't make you see something you don't wish to.

What are you guys going to do with yourselves if ATI really comes through here and brings something incredible to us, Rollo buys it and tests it and says how it rocks the G70? What then? Because he will if ATI can do it. What if I go out and buy an R520 when it comes out and God forbid I say something good about it and that it does yada yada better than nvidia? Will you have a canary? GET OFF OUR BACKS!! Please.

I remember Rollo was the first person on the block with 6800nu in SLi benchies. Even before the firingsquad article. For that reason, I'll always see Rollo as a helpful guy and everyone else that badgers him as fanATIcs.

Thank you Keys, I'm honestly touched by your post.

Like I said to Ronin the other day when he asks why I bother with this stuff:
For every guy like (insert your favorite Rollo hater here) there are two like you who seem to appreciate what I'm up to.

Thanks again, well spoken.

Stop trolling Megaworks. How can it be biased when he is telling someone to lay off. ATI and Nvidia are only mentioned in hypothetical situations. So STFU and stop adding to the tension here.

I wonder how AT feels about you slurring the CEO of a company that has done a lot for them? Maybe someone should forward this garbage to the mods?

Megaworks, why are you doing this. First you, randomly posted crap in this thread. When i told you that the tension was high enough without you adding to it, you then proceeded to mindlessly flame me as well. What are you gaining out of this?? Do you just wake up and say how can i piss someone off today, because if so get that cut out that sh!t you are posting now and either:

A. (Kindergarden rule) If you dont have anything nice to [post] then dont [post] anything at all
B. Contribute to the thread, not to the off topic conversations within.

What concept is so hard about this? You saw the mods closed down the other thread, because people went looking for an argument and took the thread way off course. The mods then warned that if that crap continued, some people would be getting vacations. Maybe you should heed their advice before you post your reply, in which i am flamed numerous times, none of which really annoy me.

Do you even know how stocks work?
Do you even know how Rollo works?

Right now BFG you are trolling you know.
Would you care to point out exactly which of my points were not true?

Wow BFG. How much lower can you go? Seems your main hobby is hitting below the belt.
Pointing out somebody is a troll and a fanboi is below the belt? Wow.

So what's in if for you? Are you hoping when his five year old finishes with the hardware you'll get the scraps?

BFG is a jealous man who apparently can't stand it if you have the audacity to try and enjoy the second best card.
Jealous of what exactly?

Actually Zendari I've had 3 6800NUs, 3 6800 GTs, and 2 7800GTXs
Rollo 2004: I refuse to pay for the same product over and over again so I won't be buying ATi's parts.
Rollo 2005: I'll buy every SLI combo possible and proclaim it's viable. WOOT! 6600GT SLI and 6800nu SLI are significantly different and viable!

How can you call someone else a troll when crap like this spews from your fingers.
Way to go BFG, you've impressed me with your keen intellect. Not really.

Go away troll. "Where did I put that repellant?"
