yeah nvidia failed me a lot in the past (but the geforce mx 440 was a good card) so i got myself an medion with an ati an ati card and it is serving me well and for the moment the 7950 is the best performance/value (at least the sapphire one) to buy in stead of nvidia if it would be that nvisia was better then amd i will buy nvidia even if it failed me 5 times in 3months i don't care if it works it works if it doesn't the youre screwed.
