ATI & AMD, Koolance Exos, Computex & More
Good morning folks! Long time no see. I apologize for my extended absence. Can you believe that was the longest I've been away from HotHardware for over 6 years! But I have a good excuse - I was on my Honeymoon! Adrienne and I tied the not on May 14, 2005 and then we hopped on a plane for a couple of weeks in Antigua. What a great experience. Sun, sand, sea, another "S" word, and lots of relaxation. Right now though, it's time to get back in the saddle and bare down for some work. To be honest, I missed it!
