,----[ Quote ]
| If you only looked at the Windows Experience Index, you could end
| up purchasing a product which will not satisfy your requirements!
| Vista rated all of our graphics cards at high scores of 4.5 and up,
| meaning that they supposedly are suitable to run 3D game graphics,
| but as our game and 3DMark results show, this is absolutely wrong.
