    Probably because they dont want to be responsible for somehting that hasnt been fully tested. But of course they could still post a disclaimer for "beta" patches and firmwares.

    took out the drive because it was hard for me to hook up my IDE with the video card in the way (it was already very tight, plus ill have a sata dual format HD drive soon). another prob with the case is that the PSU is like 2 inches longer than the stock one. this makes the psu very close to the...

    Radeon HD 2900XT VS 8800GTX

    is the 2900xt potentially better? a year later after better drivers have been developed, will the 2900xt be a stronger card than the 8800gtx. i was set on overclocking a (bang for buck?) 2900pro, cant make up my mind now. not a gamer, just want a future proof rig that will handle HD very well.
