open source gaming. I enjoyed reading Mr. Rahmat's Column on Open Source Hardware, but laugh at the notion that Linux can make any impact on the gaming community. I love Linux, but the gaming community isnt ready TO SUPPORT IT! When is EA and the rest going...

Interesting things about the 5xxx series. From here •Battleforge DirectX 10/DirectX 10.1 performance improves of up to 50% with the largest gains in configurations using ATI CrossFireX™ technology. •Company of Heroes DirectX 10 performance improves...
