Why? Better?

Well depends... in Pixelshader actions the R3x0 series of ati are
faster due to.. some hardware based choices of nvidia. In OpenGL
though nvidia wins....

There is no better here...you talk about two different GPU's ... with
very different workings...

And in directx games the 9800XT is generally known to be faster
The poor FX series also has the problem that in many games it uses
it's own codepath wich is not fully PS2.0 but PS1.1 due to that the FX
series is very slow with PS2.0

Yup sad..but...well nvidia just made a marketing mistake! They thought
4x2 would be good enough...then ati came on the market with..a pure
8x1 solution!

But important thing to remeber, don't BUY either of these unless they
are under $250, as the new cards are 50~120% faster in the same price
range ($375~500).

Remember: In the USA - it is dangeroud to draw or write about Heir Bush in a negative way. The police or SS are called, people threaten to kill you. (What country is this again?)

- 15yr old boy in Washington was disciplined for drawing such images.
- White House blows cover of an undercover agent because her husband said there were no WMD (before the USA started the war) - her job was finding terrorist. (This makes sense?)
