from whats been said in support this has been drastically improved

ati will support havok on there gpu's so maybe its nvidias lack of havok thats the bigger issue?
3) ATi compatibility issues, this might sound like a mindless fanboy rant here but back in the day of my Radeon 9700 I had a few issues with games due to a lack of support by the Devs for ATi cards (SimCity 4 and Metal Gear Solid). Later the X1800XT had issues to, due to not quite fully supporting Shader Model 3 (a lack of Vertex Texture Fetching). I just dont want to end up getting a card which lacks dev support or something...
back in the day...nuff said..

4)Heat and Noise, lets face it the X2900XT cards were blimin hot and noisy.
good thing the 4850 isnt a 2900 , its improved and 55nm
