I was in the same exact boat and had the near same exact experience around that same timeframe. I did buy another one after the AMD buyout, around 2009 with a Radeon 5870 and it has been a really great card. I&#x27;m still using it today in this machine. The OGL support still lacks but not nearly as bad as &#x27;03.<p>That said, the ghost of ATI still haunts AMD. To buy from them next time I&#x27;ll have to get a great price or they&#x27;ll have to be way ahead of Nvidia which they were in 09 with the 5870.
