Gary please don't take things that seriously
Okay that I called you an nvidiot was because the way i read your posts, they read very negative in my mind as my friend who sat beside me.
Here in the The Netherlands we have had multiple threats like that in the ATi, Nvidia, XGI, S3, Matrox as 3dfx threads and it came very well accross to your way of posting, but no offense there it's just the way I read them, do remember this is a multi language place things that others read you read or I read may come accross alot differently.
And yes I agree the support under 98SE is worse on ATi cards as nvidia ones very true there, but under 2000 Pro and up it jest get's alot better hereby means that you don't come up with pathetic posts like:
Quote:ATI's drivers always were a PITA.
Sorry mate but that are things that ATi users and I personally don't accept especially from an Admin! You should accept that there are people that use ATi cards and that never have have the problems you do have, you should there by asking for help not spread silly quotes like that, which can get people's minds confused by giving them a negative point of view from your side.
And really I am willing to help whenever possible.
Some stupid ATi versus NV thing can easily put to humanoids in lot's of confusion and traumatic problems, which actually isn't needed imho.
And really I am not a ATi fanBoy, it's that I use them because I have my good reasons that they seem to work better for the apps I need them for and yes I will always like thier drivers better than the NV ones, but even that shouldn't be a crime, just a personal experience and also my opinion on that case.
Since I just recieved a very nice Leadtek GeForce4 Ti 4600 Ultra AGP 128MB from a good friend and that one will be a very nice card for my second retro system
so for advice for drivers I could ask you since your experience with NV cards is that good, right
Anyways Sorry for the long post, and sorry for calling you a nVidiot, this whole post was something that I just had to let go of.
The best thing we all should do is avoid things like this and move on, there are much more important problems in the universe than what has happened here.
