- Good on them I say. They are the reason I got jipped with my 9800GTX purchase, but I'm man enough to admit that I think I made the wrong decision purchasing my graphics card. The 48x0 series is looking like a no-brainer purchase, and Nvidia cards can't compete at a price/performance ratio.

- Aye. It's nice to have competition again in the discreet graphics market. I purchased an 8800GT a few weeks ago for $150. I knew the 260 and 280 were going to be out of my price range, and I figured AMD's cards were going to follow suit. I, too, wish I waited, but that's technology for you.
Now if we could just have competition again in the mainstream CPU market.

- Sorry... No ATI product is going into my computer. Merging with AMD was a great idea. Now I can avoid two companies for the price of one.

And the reason for completely rejecting all possible products from a company for no other reason but their brand name would be.....................? Mindless fanboyism?

- I can tell you after visiting AMD this past week and meeting with their people and seeing their new products first hand (including the 4870) I can tell you AMD/ATI will be making a lot of strides in the near future that will change the way you look at this company.

- Is the ATI of 2003 with the epic Radeon 9700/9800 finally back after AMD ownership? I certainly hope so!

- It's about time that they make an epic comeback! Well done.

- Finally! ATi is at it's prime once again. The HD 4800 series kicks GPU butt for its price range.

- I'll admit i have not even looked at AMD CPU's since the C2D arrived, and the same can be said for their GPU's since the 8800 -- but the 4x00 looks great, and after doing some research im actually seriously thinking of getting a system built on the Phenom.
