Well, http://english.aljazeera.net/ is alive again, start reading.

2 Heathen, Vince: I have no doubt that M1 is generations ahead of T-72, I was talking about a very specific conditions: low visibility (no more than 100 meters) and without air support. And about IR systems, I have a very fun article of serbians as they effectively masked real tanks and...

Sorry for that, it wasn't noted in russian mass-media.

well, maybe I'm mistaking, but before war journalists were talking that Iraqes army will not be fighting and surrender as soon as war begin... And that all you have to do is go to Bagdad and kill or capture Saddam and his sons. Now it's clear that Iraqes people don't want to surrender, they...

2 epicstruggle: Bush promised that war will be very shot - one weak, 10 days maximum. Now it is clear, that he was mistaken. 2nd, I don't think that Siriya's bus with civillians and Iran's oil shaft is very precise bombing. 3rd, situation is very simular to Serbiya, when 2000 civillians...

2 Heathen: No, I'm not sure. But I'll be surprised if defence of tanks became better than attack. Also, guns shells also improves, so, if Saddam really was buying weapon on black market, he can have now last-gen commulative shells for his tanks. And as far as I know Saddam has ~2000 tanks...

2 epicstruggle: It is a bullshit. Simply Washington is looking for justification of low effectiveness of bombing and lots of civillians deaths in Bagdad, nothing more. Our companeis denyes these charges, there is a lot of ways how this equipment could went to Saddam.

Here on russian TV our military men said that in conditions of sand-storm americans laser-system doesn't work, so Iraqi and USA tanks will be in equal condition. And T-72 has a gun enouth to destroy M1.

2 MrsSkywalker: It is logical, because without domination in the air tanks are only a good targets for enemy's aircrafts and helicopters. I think now Saddam waits for sand-storm, during which his tanks army will counter-attack aggressors.

Joe DeFuria: Uhh, it's look like you a great connoisseur in marging, market shares and firm's marketing! I red you comment with pleasure ;) Only one thing, IMO, you didn't count: ATi and NVIDIA don't sell chips directly to customers, they sell them to partners. And if Gigabyte wonts to buy...

Joe DeFuria: Thank you for your reply, I have to agree with you in mojority. But if you don't see any Radeon9600 on the market until summer, don't be suprised - ADP ;) No, I don't think they go away, at least here in Russia. There are currently 41 offers of old 8500's Radeons in my city, so...

Joe DeFuria: I remember vary well the end of 2002 - Radeon 8500 275/275 was in big deficit, and a lot of people on rage3d was angry because there orders was suspended, especcially DELL's offers. If now ATi has overstock of R200 chips, it is another example of mismanagement - they didn't...

John Reynolds: agree Ok, please don't delete. The 1st quotation was from very reliable source, the second is Tomshardware. I don't understand why prices for 9700 are frozen and even grow, when Ti4600 constantly fall (in Russia). ATi made a exellant conference in Moscow, named our...

I red it somewhere: “ATi has a huge problems with R300 chip supply for there partners. Gigabyte lines engaged only on 40%, Sapphire on 50%. Some vendors wanted to switch on the ATi chips lately, but being looking on the current delivery problems of ATi’s major AIBs, changed there mind. Deficit...

Hi, here is another russian article, which showes how ATi orginize 128 bit on hardware level: http://www.fcenter.ru/articles.shtml?videos/5362
