| MM, the silence from ATI is deafening. How about one storyline. Is the 650 going to be released in the form that it was originally announced and time (not, July is gone), or is there a change in plans as reported by some. Is this now going to be released in December, with DRM now included? Or is this another card from ATI? I mean, who in their right mind would buy the 650 in August, September, or October or whenever it gets released, if a "new card" with DRM will replace it in December.
If this is the plan, ATI really blew this with all their hype on the didn't happen "July Debut" of their 650. I think ATI owes its loyal customer base a little explanation and straight story here. Many of us have invested in ATI products (not cheap) and waited patiently for the 650 to complement that investment.
Like someone said, the NVidia dual tuner is looking better and better everyday, even without HDTV features. At least you know what you are getting. With ATI, it is getting more and more nebulous and complicated with the so-called partners, who are clueless about when, and if, the 650 is going to happen.
Damn shame. |
