To be fair, though, it should be pointed out that most of ATI's issues over the years have been driver issues, not hardware.

And to be fair, they very likely see DX as somewhat more significant for their (current) customer base than GL; on the other hand, cards which do offer decent GL performance exist, so ATI is likely going to have to, sooner or later, either make GL work properly, or accept status as a mid-range, rather than high-end, card line.

Indeed. I suspect in the current generation of systems, more ship with half-butted onboard cards capable of basically nothing, than systems ship with decent ATI and nVidia cards combined. Installed base - or even unit sales - says little about function.

Games running on Cedega don't run as fast as they do in their native environs? Golly gee, how surprising. :)

Hell, half of them look at you kinda funny when you ask for halfway decent application software. Never mind asking for development tools, video editing (other than toy apps) and so forth. :)

Of course he did. Reading isn't his problem; comprehension is.

See what I mean? :)
