Whoa, full stop - that doesn't sound luck my idea of good luck.

However, it does sound a lot like my experience with ATI cards from a 
few years ago -

I tried to do the right thing and run an ATI card a few years back, but 
the system would lock hard as soon as I tried to start return to castle 
wolfenstein. I yanked that card and sold it to a windoze users, and have 
been using nvidia cards ever since. I've never had a crash to date since 
running nvidia cards - and I play a lot of 3D FPS, and run GL 
screensavers, so 3D stability is something I am sensitive to.

I have no use for a card/driver combo that can cause hard locks - say 
what you will about nvidia, but their stuff has been rock solid for me, 
no matter what I throw at it.

YMMV,

Joe
