    Your source is right buddy, a company doesn't design GPU, its employee does. :wink:

    Probably, yes, however I believe I saw a blurb somewhere on some website disputing that unconfirmed rumor, I think it was The Inquirer... On the other hand, they're known for getting stuff backwards, so we might not want to pay TOO much attention to that report.

    In other news, the Pope is alleged to be Catholic, and bears do. Rumours that the Pope does too are unsubstantiated.

    (Sorry, been reading the Two Ronnies sketch book).

    Normally I'd agree with you, but if the rumors about the R420's speed are correct it will exceed the speed of light on the molecular level when run and it will actually be on the store shelves BEFORE it's premiered! :shock:

    The pope's still around? He sure looked dead last time I saw him on TV, I bet they strung him up and played him like a puppet like those crazy Soviets did with Brezjnev when he croaked back in the 80s and they didn't want to 'fess up he actually HAD croaked...

    Oh! By the way...... I have it on good authority that IF you drink a really strong cup of tea within 6 feet of the R420, anyone within 15 feet will have their clothes transported 5 feet to the left - except in Joe D's case - they will be transported 5 feet to the right....... Bet it would work wonders at many a party.......

    I have it on good authority that the R420 will be backwards compatible with R300 games, more specifically Half Life 2.

    Thus the reason they are delaying the release is that the test boards keep being destroyed for an intergalactic spaceway :lol:

    Fortunately ATI engineers are all equipped with emergency towels.
