j/k. however, did anyone else read the part where Gary Key said: "The graphics capabilities of these chipsets in gaming are best left for older 3D games. Tetris, Solitaire, and Minesweeper also run without a hitch on these IGP solutions." Man, if I'd known that an igp solution could run those classics so well then I could have saved all that money that I've spent on gpus in 2007

I was having trouble in Minesweeper until I overclocked my 8800 Ultra to 700MHz/2400MHz. Now it runs buttery-smooth, no problem.

I think I might stop playing solitaire until the 9800 gtx comes out. Just to be safe.

Probably would play Q3 pretty nicely as well as other games of that era.

Didn't the 8800GTX seriously have some major driver issues with solitaire at first?

ummm... yep, here it is:

Lol, that's just too funny. There's driver problems then there's just...ummm...i don't even know what to call that...it's just ridiculous.

Did nVidia fire some programmers or something? I had always heard good things about nVIdia drivers, then I bought the 8800GTS (when it first came out) and there was problem after problem. Recently it's been fairly good but damn it took like 6 months to come up with nice drivers. I think I'm gonna wait a couple of months more than I would have waited normally to upgrade my vid card. Hopefully the R680 comes out soon after G92.
