Please excuse my total ignorance, but are the problems with the FX cards
driver or hardware related. I have always been an "nVidia man" and want to
buy an FX5900. If the problems are driver related, I would be optimistic and
buy the card hoping that future drivers would solve the problems. If the
problems are hardware related, then obviously, drivers will never not solve
the problems. If the latter, I will have to think again regarding what to
buy.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Nick.
