Interesting, sigh. Seems to be the typical arguments for ATI: It's
faster when it decides to work.
Once I bought an ATI TV card because it was cheap. The software
caused all sorts of problems, did not work like anybody would want it
to, and, to top it off, 99% of all 3rd party TV software did n

As it is supposed to do, it's a design flaw fixed on BBA models but few non-BBA's
with notable exception to the Asus & VisionTek HD3870X2's with quad-DVI ports.
Biggest danger of the fan bug is that the fan is only ramped out AFTER you boot an OS

Well true as the ATI issues are there's 2 reasons to use them over Nvidia:
1. HD3870X2 or newer beats all but the most expensive Nvidia cards maybe all with new
HD4xxx series.
2. CrossfireX works on Intel & Nvidia chipsets, SLI only works on Nvidia because they
make it so.
