Re: hardware - which card is certified?

[Todd Alan Peleg <todd(at)theholdingcell.com>]

i have a bad experience with 2 fx3500's and the fx3000's

there are 2 of them here at the place i am at and the performance of 
them has been whipped by my 5 year old laptop's nvidia

(i have yet to explain it)

some other people have offered MANY options to fix what seems to be for 
no reason.. i haven't had time to investigate it.. but.. for it to be 
the case in multiple machines... i doubt its a rare thing..

for what its worth
