IE the 2D - Transparent windows not 3D pixel shaders

I know pixel shaders is not 2D. I'm saying the gain you get with a 3850 in pixel shading is not enough to make up for the 2D loss.

No Vista (forget 7 it's worthless for PCM) is not optimal for s478 or 462. XP + fast Nvidia card is the only way to go. You'll see shit with AGP + Vista.

In my case tonight i"ll be using server 08 for 775.

Proof is in the pudding regarding 478 and 462:http://hwbot.org/listResults.do?user...Id=9&offset=50

BTW your crazy.
