'morning everybody,
first, thanks to all who answered for the one who read carefully all this 8)
Everything I was supposing has been confirmed and, not to advertise for
nVidia, I just wanted to tell that the nV FX5[689]00 cards are the best
ones I ve tested for a while at that price and that they ve much
improved since the GF3-4 products.
I ll have some more ... but I need to check out, in a different class,
the new Onyx4 UV ;)
Have a good pfDay,
Marc.
