Join us now and share the software,
You will see,
ATI you will seeee,
a’ bunch of geeckers investing piles of money,
that is true ATI that is truuuth !!!

GH:
If I see good progress in this my next desktop will be AMD/ATI
just like my HP notebook!! Way to go, Intel outside !!

[...] I could move with that ATI/AMD emotional ATI GPU glasses and committing to serving discover the unstoppered maker drivers, but everybody added is doing that and to be unstoppered – whilst mettlesome attendant and beatific programme for ATI (who were near to existence cursive soured as a half-decent bourgeois of element for anybody intending to separate UNIX which is actually quite a aggregation of people) it’s not too germane to unstoppered maker games which run to be, wel, not so rigorous on our GPUs.

[...] I’ve been using an Intel graphic card because its free drivers are developed by the company itself, but this time AMD/ATI is going further: They’re not only going to develop free drivers (along with the community), but they’re also going to release the documentation for their devices. No more vendor lock-in! At least from ATI. [...]

First, its about bloody time that AMD\ATI are releasing some “specs”, and “Docs” to the community at large. Its important Microsoft accept the Linux, and BSD commune out there blah blah blah, but like so many “USERS” have said over many many yeras now, “when are the drivers’ coming” ?!

and btw, Henri Richard,”… is just a greedy lipstick-painting Rat, that left an Unsinkable ship…” :) seriously funny blogger @overclockers.com

anyway, I really wish Microsoft or Intel would have bought ATI -it would have looked better on ‘dem.
That way, those $6Billion AMD dollars(that were partly yours and mine) could have been used to build their 45nm CPU processing plant and we’d be playing with an 8-Core AMD Rocker baby!

those poor AMD stock holders must be goin’ crazy.
(… Nortel Network anyone ?)

Its heartfelt to know, on the other hand, now that Intel\nVidia are beating the crap out of AMD\ATI -they’re being “nicer” to us. -giime a break pleeez!! -Its about freakin’ time ! sheeez.?

I have always personally admired and more important used AMD CPU’s, but hate ATI’s (past CLOSED philosophy unless you’re just using Microsoft products,.. but hey, thats cool too because you’ve paid for it, ok)

Somebody here said “…Since I currently own a Athlon X2 AM2 & 7900GT…”

-that is a great combo dude, AMD/nVidia rock and mostly because of their openess in the past. ATI has been notorious for lack of support, and their CLOSED-door policy. -we ALL knew that.
They did make good cards now and then at one time or another (the Radeon 9800Pro comes to mind, and yes it rocked with the best during its hey-day -I loved it)- UNTIL I finally tried to switch to Linux, and BSD.
(These days, I just keep a copy of Windows around for those really good Fun PC\Windows Games that you just can’t put down)

ok, back to FreeBSD, and Linux (I luv ‘em both) maybe nVidia provided those drivers outta compassion more than need, sure, but they still did it.
Don’t even mention ATI (in regards to its paper-tiger lying policies, and its non-cooperation) when it comes to Linux or FreeBSD -cause those poor programming developers know all about it, and their OpenSores.

Needless, they(ATI) were losing ground to nVidia and they(ATI) knew it.
Would nVidia need Intel to buy them? -Intel could only wish…. ha ha.
AMD will have to torture it outta those ATI commies, and I hope they do, and I hope AMD can rejoin the fight for Unix drivers for ALL PC’s again.

But, until they do, sorry paper-tigers’ are not allowed in the “performance” world, and until AMD/ATI GPU drivers are “better” than nVidias’ I’ll never invest into, or buy ATI-anything again.-with their attitude.
And really, why the _______ should anyone.!

Sure, I hate the “monopoly” of Intel over-priced CPUs’, and even worse their crappy 2-D integrated MB junk, and wow -not even a DIVX port yet! but unfortuantely I didn’t ask for this choice.

Sooo, its Intel and my “nVidia 8800GTX”(trust me, this GPU was the reason ATI is gone anyway) for this Dogs’ breakfast for now…?

cheers.
