Nice, the big man nails ATI on cheating as well. This sort of thing has just got to stop. Even though I like the 8500 with the new drivers I am reluctant to buy one just because I don't want to support that sort of reprehensible behavior. Once again, a major FOR SHAME to ATI and their apparent lack of ethics.
