            Reminds me of "Are you Ready?" FX launch. nVidia is rumoured to be faster this time, we'll see soon.

              I must say ATi driver updates are now becoming more frequent than M$ security updates

              I havent even tried out the 4.3, the 4.4 is out..

              Edit : Just saw that the 4.4 has dropped support for Win9x (that is the last driver released for WinME/Win9x is cat 4.3)

              Ah well i dont play games on my win98 box anyways.. but still as Microsoft is still holding onto win9x till 2006 i had hoped ati would be releasing drivers for that OS..

              Now left Nvidia who is releasing win98 drivers i guess

                    That's because they stated last year that they would start comign out with new driver updates once a month or 12 updates a year.

                      PCIE cards won't be out until June. They are referring to the Radeon X800 which will be anounced at the end of this month.

                            probably not, according to Xbit, its the ATI version of "are u ready" thing for R420.

                            And rumors has it that GF 6800 will hit 12000ish 3dmark03 (pre-production NV40s @ CeBit closed doors). Its fast alright. I am pretty sure 3dmark is quite reliable for this one since its preproduction samples. I bet the NV engineers were working hard...
