The last 8 months of fglrx releases haven't worked properly on my AGP card, why would I still be a fanboi or sophomoric about ATI?
I'll say again it's not what was said but the way it was said. Laughing at us because we bought an ATI card is simply not very nice.
I'm not sure what I would do if I had to buy a new video card now. I either buy the more powerful ATI card and hope that the drivers get fixed or buy a lesser nVidia AGP card and hope that works.
I've learnt theres no guarantee with drivers from either nVidia or ATI. My motherboard is not supported by nVidia under Vista and the most recent "WHQL signed" drivers for XP kill your windows install - BSOD even in safe mode. Two Catalyst releases didn't work properly for my video card under windows so your not even safe running just windows.
