I will never own another diamond product. they have a long history of discontinuing support for products, esp if there is a problem (edge 3D anyone?)

I thought the new Diamond is unrelated to the old company?

I don't know to be truthful. it would have been a hell of a name to pick up though. I thought they had just taken a break out of the graphic card market for about 7 years or so.

only if they would give a longer warranty then 1yr.. I'd pick them up in a heartbeat..

This is correct, another company now owns the Diamond name (Best Data). The original Diamond is now called SONICblue. (Diamond+S3).

Whether or not these new guys are better or not is unknown to me, i've heard very little about Diamond since them resurfacing.

What I can tell you from personal experience is Sapphire's RMA and Customer Service is pretty bad, i'd avoid that route if possible.
