Video Card Corruption

Ok, so here is an issue I have seen around work and I just found again with the side business and it has always been a sore spot with me. The issue seems to lie in ATI video cards more often then any other company and does not seem to be limited to just PC boxes but also Mac’s. The issue is memory corruption, and it happens way to often for me to say it isn’t just an over heated card or a single bad card here and there.

My experience with this issue started just about three years ago around work, we had 90+ desktops shipped to us with some ATI cards in them

Infamous “Applying Computer Settings” and “Applying User Settings” Issue in XP

I know that if you run a domain with multipul computers and users you have been bound to run into a computer that says “Applying Computer Settings” or “Applying User Settings” for longer then expected, it’s just a matter of whether you fixed it or not.

Apple Quote

Here is a quote a friend of mine found a few years ago and I just had to pass this on.

QUOTE (Keldyn @ Nov 4 2003, 11:04) Steve Jobs has one hell of a sweet deal. Apple fans have my utmost respect. No, really it is true. They are so damn dedicated. Never before have I seen a group of people so staunchly defend a product. Infact I am willing to bet Apple could probably market and release crap. A turd. Hell it could even come in 5 fruity flavors. Berry, orange, lemon, lime and tangerine. Let’s for arguments sake call it the iTurd and undoubtedly you guys would buy it. Slap an apple logo on it and BOOYA!!! You’ll be all over it like flies on the proverbial cow pat…..
