An industry first. Full 64bit support for all Nforce 3 mainboards.
As time go on, the things I've said about NV, their engineering, and their software support is proven again and again.

Not that the things you say arn't informative or interesting, but the manner in whch you say the things you do make me wonder if Nvidia dosn't have some sort of religion that your promoting.

Thanks dude. Ya I threw a bit of "in your face" in this post.. but you gotta understand how persecuted I've been in the past.. and the things I've said about the past are true, and the things I'm saying about the future... well... just wait and we'll see.

I dont want to get into one of those huge flamewars again with a bunch of haters who cant stand what I say, or the way I say it (not you, others who might come across this).. but simply put... from my analysis NV is a wiser company with superior engineering and better support (longterm and short term).. plus I've had tons more issues with ATI hardware and their drivers than NV.
Its not that I dont know what I'm doing. Or that I'm unfair to them.

In the beginning (sounds a bit biblical)... I was very fair now every once in a while I'll give their stuff a shot like I did with my 9800s and not much has changed when it comes down too it.
Crappy driver releases that occur more often (every month) dont make up for the basis of the problem to exist.. crappy drivers. :lol:

I'm glad you find my posts interesting and informative.
And I hope I shed some light on why over time, I've came to be very pro-NV.. I'm not so much anti-ATI.. I think their performance as a corporation speaks for itself.
I'm merely pointing out why certain decisions NV has made are wise.

I've never used hardware for so many years (from a TNT2 to my soon to be 6800 Ultra) and been so satisfied..
so it comes from experience and education on the technology.

In all my years of computing (starting on a Commodore 64) I've never seen such a consistent company with great support.

Note- I wont be responding to inflammatory responses to this post.. so waste your breath if someone will.. I wont be responding.

shamless faboyism, comming from an uninformed shamless fanboy.

If I glanced at a spilt box of tooth picks on the floor, could I tell you how many are in the pile. Not a chance, But then again I don't have to buy my underware at Kmart.
 
I call Spam on you!

There is a place for this thread, and it's not in the Graphics forum.

Seriously, dude! Stick to the topic.

You can't have run out of things to say about the GF6800 already!?!

Well this is certainly a big deal.. and any Nvidia news fits here.. hell I dont think anyone reads any of other forums..
I've called for forum consolidation quite some time ago.

Besides, I think that there are alot of people who would be interested in this news.. and if not posted here would have missed it.

I'd be more impressed if there was a Windows OS in place to take advantage of this. :tongue:

I think the fact that there isnt, yet they offer full support (good support at that) is what is impressive.
