Don't get me wrong, I think that kyro 2 is a great card but it just doesn't have the "popularity" that nvidia and Ati does. Here is a true story.
I went to a computer store ( I will not reveal the name since it might be a shamful thing for them.) in a town in Washington state and the conversation proceeded as follows.
Me: "Hi, do you carry Kyro 2". (May I should have been more specific here).
Sales rep: "I'm sorry, but we don't carry games here, this is a hardware only store".
I just smiled and left. I didn't want to make the guy feel bad for not knowing it, but I was cracking up inside.
I just think that Kyro II doesn't have the same exposure as Nvidia or Ati have right now.
BTW does any one know if anyone is making a vid card based on Kyro II and has a t.v tuner built in. Thnx in advance.

:cool: Since we cannot get what we like, let us like what we can get

I always said it is not as recognised as the other brands...

Some guys over at beyond 3D seem to be having problems with the card aswell.

Well I always thought that this time around like the Kyro 1 there will not be much advertising like NVidia and ATi do. They are more reliant on word of mouth over the Internet.
But come the Kyro 3, given that there is significant revenue generated from the Kyro 2, it could be a whole different ball game.
