that's all right!
i thank you very much.however i think to wait other 2/3 months at
least as final drivers will be out and there are pcix cards.
In the moment Ati win on games test but have an old architecture and
dont have hardware mpg coder/decoder and tv in/out,so Nvidia could be
much better.
I 'work' on 1280*1024 resolution. I like computergrafic
2d/3d,animations and videos.Sometime also games,but rarely.
now i have an 'old' geforce 2ultra and id like to change it just
possible
