I thought about waiting it out for NV30 but I decided that I couldnt wait that long

So far I have tried 3dfx (1, 2, & 3), Nvidia, and now ATI. I can safely say now that very happy with my Radeon 9700 but still want to crank some more juice out of it. Maybe when I get done tweaking it all out, it will be JUST as fast as the NV30

Then I will be very happy
Otherwise I only had one complaint about ATI and their drivers and I hope that will be the last.
