In a word, "Wow."
I mean, who'd have thunk it that the 6800 would still have life? Maybe ATI can counter with a Radeon All-In-Wonder Xtravaganza 6502!

The approaching question is, which is the principal in your box, the Motherboard or the Video card? My present video card has more memory and sucks more power than my laptop, and like yours has a fan, though it's quiet.

Ahahahahah. You should be doing standup with lines like that, hell you even managed to keep your face straight!
When I bought a 9800 Pro I had to do three kernel recompiles to get the damn drivers to work properly, I had to edit part of their interface code because they didn't handle the KT600 chipset I have on my board and even when I got them installed it screwed up my vttys when X was working and they drivers were so bad that several 3D programs actually ran slower than with the Ti4600 I have now put back in here (and installing the drivers for that involved one command...)
Yes, ATI may make very good hardware, but whoever writes their drivers should be taken out and hung by the larger of his testicles until he vows never to go near a computer again in his life.
