They started doing things like making cards that needed special expensive ram. Publishing incorrect info on ram requirements and refused to correct the info which some ram dealers rely on to this day incorrect or not. Also removed the ability to over clock on many/most cards. Famous for a screwed up marketing department. Which announced products months or even sooner then they could deliver them. Macgurus at some point refused to sell them at some point as they couldn't deliver promised products. In the end this is what likely killed the company. I would say at this point the current upgrade companies all make good products which meet different peoples needs in the market place. If I had to make a list I would place them in this order.But not as much difference in companies as in the past. The weak products and companies are gone.(and some good products are also gone but if the companies had been strong they would still be around) XLR8 Powerlogix Sonnet Newer Tech unknown at this time Will S
