ATI Graphics Cards- Blog # 1

Well I bought my partner (Wife) a new computer last year, NOW a P4 3.2Ghz Intel-965- S-775 fsb800, Asus P5GZ-MX Motherboard, 2-Gig DDR2 @677mhz, ATI X1300pro-PCI-E 256meg-DDR3 Graphics, 120Gig Sata HDD, DVD/RW, Media Card reader, 550watt Emac-SuperCool psu, ATX case.
And had nothing but problems with it, and after going back to computer shop 5 times it has been totally rebuilt to the above specs, but still we were having alot of issues with the ATI graphics card, so after 7 months of it being returned also back and forth from shop, we also got no real support from ATI-AMD.com either so we pulled the card out to it back for its final trip to computer shop and demanded a refund, and got it too after some deliberations.
Now the Computer has a NVIDIA-XFX Geforce 7600GTS - XXX Edition 256meg-DDR3 graphics card with the newest 162.18 drivers and control center, and not a problem to be found, everything just works as it should,
Will never ever deal with ATI again, even there Newest cards have faults, but our new friend the trusted old Nvidia is here to stay......
