Faulty chip packages are not necessary dangerous - please don't suggest that they are
@ Mr Venden: Despite all of the articles on The Inquirer that suggest nVidia has package problems, I can't see nVidia dumping tons of product into waste tips.
Much more likely is that nVidia are being clever, realising that 're-branded 8800 chips' will not sell in a world that has plenty of DX11 accelerators... and simply shutting down production plants until next summer.
It makes sense to 'not make products that no one wants'.
Saying that nVidia will 'throw away old chips' shows a remarkable lack of insight into the way that the graphics market works.
p.s. I also think laughing at people because they look funny is wrong and not in good taste.
Also, there was some fear about potential dangers from 'chip package bubbles'
The only thing that makes me smile these days is searching for Jen Hsun's "So Ronery" from Team America on Youtube - cranking up the volume and dancing around like Tom Cruise in Risky Business
I'm pretty sure Krissy is a girl. If it's a male, then God help the poor bastard get a better name.
But Krissy is an awesome name, assuming no man tube.

Saying that all midget despots are the same is a really despicable position to take.
No matter how poor nVidia's products may be, no matter how many failures it endures, no matter how far its share price falls...
...you cannot stand there laughing at the company's owner - simply because of how he looks.
Please refrain from doing this again Krissy Venden.
It's just not funny laughing at the ronery.
Seems that no one is interested in them.
