Diamond Monster 3D vol *xyz*

This is very possible. Sometimes game makers tell people to get 30.xx det's for some game...but then we all know game designers can be the cream of the idiotpile sometimes. ;)
Quote:As for ATI... First (and last) ATI card I ever owned was what came with this PC: a Rage 128 Pro series card. Namely, the XPert 2000 Pro. Powered by ATI, not built by. Thing's alright, but my nVIDIA TNT2 Vanta LT, a 16 MB card, does a equal (or better) job as that 32 MB ATI. So, I have always been, and probably always will be, an nVIDIA follower. Never had good luck with ATI, and never had bad luck with nVIDIA. :D I'm fiercely loyal, and fiercely stubborn, so when I find something good, I stick it to the end.
hehe. I have an aversion for NVidia. Used 3dfx before, and ATi now. I'd just like to say, that it's no wonder you had bad experience with ATi, they became good only about a year ago, when they finaly made a chip that's top of the line, and realized they really have to do lots of tuning to keep the customers happy. (And it helps tons that they now have a much larger customer base...ie. free testers...it's the same with hardware as it is with software.) :)
My personal lack of problems with my vid cards might as well be that I only use Intel processors and Asus mobos...most hardware problems seem to have AMD and especially Via linked to them.
