1. reading the headline, i thought- great amd is denial now...

but reading the article showed that it was actually something positive about them. I really hope things will only go uphill right now.

2. Quote :

"Back in August ’08 X-bit labs reported citing Asustek Computer’s claims..."

Did I skip a year or August 2008 is still in the future?

3. To be honest, AMD says a lot of things...

4. stories and links here are good. comments though, many seem to be from young folk. we know intel has better product for cpu's now its a given.we know ati has been behind nvidia since the nv5800/5900 debacle. what i suggest is some should go and learn true history before making bandwagon rhetoric. what is important is true competition. nividia has scaled the priceing of thier products upward during the time they have owened the speed crown.right now we are witnessing strong competion in its early stages from ati. if you notice the high end pricing loosening up lately.the same is true for the cpu market. the core2 product line is a response from a company that had been hugely embarresed by thier much smaller competitor.without the competition intel will become a lazy giant again.that would be a shame because when intel is pushed they can achieve great things and we get competitive prices also. thanks

5. ATI Radeon HD 3000-series works on old problems without issues.

Dont you mean "old platforms without issues."

6. My brandnew powercolor 3870 doesn't work on my k8t890 based asus a8v-e se motherboard.

7. The 8800GS GT / 9600 Nvidia have problems with VIA PT880 Ultra chipsets, as found in Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA motherboards.

You have to reflash with another VGA Bios - if you can get one from your card vendor.

If not - you have to go to ATI - so Nvidia is really messing things up, as a 2.0 card dont boot up in some 1.0 / 1.1 only motherboards.
