FVCK :Q Do you happen to know why?

Seems like the 26th was the date ATI shipped to retailers and the 4th is the date the NDA is lifted & retailers can sell. Only one week now :)

No way so these ATI's are gonna be a big release huh? No specs or anything from them until they are officially released? Thats a very cool way to sell something IMO. They like to let their load build up and then spooge it all over our faces when the time cums.

Yes, that's seems to be correct, NDA's cover ship dates too... (in the end, ATI may just get a bit of a jump on Nvidia).

how could you equate a videocard with someone blowing their load? geez...you might wanna consider a vacation.

ok, back on topic, so does this mean that ati's launch is not a "paper-launch"?

ok i posted this before but here we go again:

sick: Exclam. Excellent! Good!

beast:\Beast\, n. [OE. best, beste, OF. beste, F. b[^e]te, fr. L. bestia.] Any four-footed animal, that may be used for labor, food, or sport; as, a beast of burden.

A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast. --Prov. xii. 10.

so there you go, i'm not a sicko OR a poser. :p
