Well, in my opinion its my duty to report that I have no issues with ATI's products or drivers as mine are serving me well. The reason why threads like this one fill up with people defending ATI is simply because if no one did, anyone that visited this site and run across this thread would be under the impression that ATI is garbage based on a bunch of negative posts with no positive posts to counter them.

If I was looking to buy an ATI product and started doing my research and found threads full of negative posts with no positive posts, I would assume ATI was garbage so I believe people post positively to counter such negativity. I appreciate that because I often do research products before I buy them and I would want to hear both sides of an argument before forming my own opinion.
