Hi all,
I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way. I think Nvidia is
very serious about their technology. But they do appear to have
some QA issues with their technologies. I might want to consider
that, if I was an early adopter of new technology from Nvidia.
BTW, I have done no serious evaluation of that statement, although
I have experience finding some issues with their technology in the
past.

Thanks,
Karen
