That makes sense. It could be why the 8800GTX in my new machine is just a
very nice card, and not 'killer.' I have Portal running through Steam, and
even though I've finally managed to get it all working great, it's chuggy.
It should fly on this card.
Thanks for the info. I wish we had an open source friendly video card
manufacturer that could compete with the big guys.
