ATI Radeon 8500 in my sister’s computer started to freak out. It crashes for no reason in games and sometimes it even freezes while working with 2D apps. So I decided to move my current ATI Radeon 9600 XT to her computer and buy myself some new graphics card. I decided to go with Leadtek WinFast A400 TDH (nVidia Geforce 6800). It has great value for the money and one of the main reasons I choose it over any ATI card is that nVidia has very solid 64-bit Linux drivers for AMD64, while ATI has no 64-bit drivers at all.

And what to say about the card that is about to retire? Well, it served me very well and for a very long time. I bought it in Italy where it was a loooot cheaper then here in Slovenia. At that time it impressed me with speed and image quality and features like TrueForm. Rest In Peace!
