Professionals with attitude? (heh heh)

Waiting for the reviews used to be a problem in the magazine age, which is
when I bought my G200. In the internet age, the online reviews are pretty
prompt. www.tomshardware.com is in fact the reason I'm sitting back and
watching the Nvidia/ATI battle, since the latest ATI drivers are getting
close to Nvidia performance. I also wait until after Christmas before buying
my personal toys. Generally you get better deals.
