NVIDIA: Save only after you dead

Frankly speaking, I really hate NVIDIA now. Now I’m sitting at home waiting for Dell technician to come over to have the 5th motherboard change due to the stupid NVIDIA GPU defect graphic card broken down. I was very happy with my Dell XPS M1330 since I brought it, but because of NVIDIA, I now suffer for every half year of graphic card broken down.



Thanks to NVIDIA, before that I never knew that laptop’s motherboard can be replace, never saw a laptop motherboard, never knew that graphic card is fix on the motherboard and cannot be taken out and etc. After all, I had seen countless of motherboard changing due to NVIDIA. 4 times of motherboard change, can you imagine that? Now the 5th time is coming.

Some of you might never know about this as NVIDIA cover this problem very well. It only release the news of GPU defect on 8400 and 8600 series after countless of graphic card sold although they already find out at the beginning but they don’t have solution. In order to win ATI, they will just continue to sell defect graphic card. What to do? NVIDIA is such a big company, after people find out this thing and they still didn’t get any punishment.

NVIDIA did mention they will replace the graphic card for you, but when your graphic card broken down only. What a joke, can you imagine you carrying a time bomb with you all the time? Even Sony will replace all they defect battery, before they blow up. Is it because of NVIDIA graphic card cannot blow up, that why it wait till broken only happy to replace for you?

I will never buy NVIDIA graphic card!!! No, I should say I will never buy NVIDIA product if I can (Hope ATI still there). Recently, I upgraded my PC to Ubuntu 8.10, but the graphic driver is not working, NVIDIA graphic card again… Argh, I HATE IT.
