Thanks Joe! Chapter one is written, but the story is far from over. I think we all know what kind of an asshole I can be and I'm not conceding loss yet. Biggest sticking point for me is IF (big IF) then have a functional card I want x-ship & call tags because I am not paying anymore $$$ for this thing nor being down for weeks. As it is I'm getting burnt for $40 because I ordered less than a week before the price drop & rebate kicked in, so I am digging my heels in.
Nvidia was a non-starter here and the card is damn fast if the cool just worked the way it's supposed to! There's a lot of flack going around that I did not see before ordering and it's not just Sapphire though they are "No. 1 Manufacturer". http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=92645 Joe User wrote: > Hello j, > > Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 8:32:36 PM, you wrote: > <snip> > >> So folks, spend your funds somewhere else because >> official & unofficial this smells >> of BS! > > > Good info - thanks for sharing - sucks you got burnt. > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
