Perhaps you didn't mean to make this sound as rude as it came out. Let's hope.
I've know I've learned my stupid posting lessons.
I did read what you said. I was curious since it was brought up that many
cards had been tested, and I was wondering what the beta testers were finding
out. I also know that things change, and even 2 hours after Lightwave
ships,the whole graphics card world will be different. There will NEVER be a
"definitive answer" to any computer question.
When I refering to dealers not having good information, that was about systems
in general. Perhaps I should fully explain everything I say to avoid the ill-
thought out flames.
I am not "hoplessly impatient", just gathering information when I can to make
an informed decision. Apparently this is the wrong place to ask questions,
however. We've got to save bandwidth for discussions of misinformation about
Alpha platform companies...
