In for one, thanks for sharing! This will finally replace my girlfriend's whining XFX HD4850. Technically, it's a performance downgrade, but since she doesn't game much anymore (and the Intel integrated GPU doesn't work well with her...

I don't regret the incredible performance boosts one bit. Sure there were problems with compatibility at times, but most issues generally get stamped out with drivers, patches, or community inspired tweaks. The only regret is the...
