Nvidia vs ATI

[rudl]

Nope

DDR800 makes no sense because it will run @750 Mhz I think

-> does not make sense

[energyman]

the tomshardware test is completly meaningless for you because they tested core2 and pentium4.

edit:
I have a 6000+, 4gb ram, 3 harddisks, a770crossfire board and until monday a liberty 500. Energy consumption was between 106 (kde desktop) 160 (vt) and 300 (ut2004) watt. So my new is a be quiet straight power 450.
400 is a bit low - several 'calculators' put me around or above 400W. And if you plan to buy a new card, I wouldn't go below 400W either. 350W is not the 'real' output of your psu. It is just a marketing number. You have always calculate with a bit of headroom. 400W could be fine, with 450 you are on the save side.

A while back we kicked off two initiatives - improving consumer support in the fglrx driver, and supporting open source driver development again. At the time, everyone thought ATI sucked and Intel/NVidia were wonderful.

Now apparently we all suck.

That is not what I was trying to accomplish

Well, one out of two ain't bad.
