I've never had a single ATI driver related problem under Windows in over 15 years of using them.


But you're not the only PC user on the planet.
Just because you have not experienced any particular PC problem doesn't mean that the problem doesn't exist.

These two links give an indication of the genuine difference between ATI and NVidia's Windows driver support:
ATI http://tinyurl.com/2wj9fm 2.56 million
NVidia http://tinyurl.com/3bhbwp 0.4 million

Back on topic, If I was building a Green PC I would use a Celeron 420 and Intel on-board graphics, or a Via C7.

Back off-topic, you have the results reversed. LOL

ATI http://tinyurl.com/2wj9fm - 0.4 Million
nVidia http://tinyurl.com/3bhbwp - 2.56 Million

Cheers, Slipstreem.



System specs: "Phoenix" - Intel C2D E4500 overclocked to 3GHz with ACF7Pro HSF on Volt-modded ASRock 775Dual-VSTA mobo (modded BIOS rev 3.10A and VNB=1.65, Vagp=1.8), 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 RAM (3.0,3,3,8,1T @546MHz), Sapphire ATI HD3870 512MB GDDR4 PCIe graphics card overclocked to 850MHz GPU & 2.4GHz RAM. Powered by Hiper Type-M 580W PSU. Guess who likes overclocking on a budget.

Hi Folks

To achieve a greener PC (and reduce leccy bills) I do
wonder how much scope there is for under-clocking ?
(I guess that it's only possible with modern devices
that support over-clocking.)

Edit PS - Cancel that question, the Green PC thread
seems to be looking at just that !
