Spent over 1000 dollars on ati's products and when something good comes out like ati stream, i am unable to use it. This is doubting me about buying another ati product because of future upgrades. Nvidia was able to allow cuda to be used on every directx 10 card they've got; why cant ati?<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-1223">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> This has not changed my life because it is not supported on the 3800 or 2900 series.

I used to work for Intel and will mainly leave that one alone. I think some of their practices are questionable, like their pricing on Atom processor & their crappy graphics chip combo is cheaper for manufacturers that just the processor alone. Try competing in the netbook market if you were Nvidia for example... Thanks for the comment!

Sony and Intel. It has been my experience that Sony is overpriced and a mediocre product. Intel was just recently added when I realized that their standard CPUs don't include the virtualization technology. I had just purchased my quad-core and upgraded to windows 7 and found I couldn't utilize the Windows XP compatibility feature because there was not VT on the chip. Did some research and nearly all AMD processors have the technology built-in. I trash talk Intel any chance I get now.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-1209">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I only have two companies on my blacklist.
