I would read your post, but it is nearly illegible. Figure out spacing, grammer and spelling before you make long posts like that.
Besides, he's right. Gabe DIDN'T force you to buy the card. He just said that it would be the best for HL2. Now, think about this for a sec. If the 9800...

mortiz, look at the site Non-Sequitur posted. If you are willing to look beyond your own little conspiracy filled world, you might learn something.

I didn't think headcrabs were allowed to say that about other headcrabs. C'mon, we gotta stick together, man :)
Also, good info if it's right. Hope it is...
