<div><font size="2">When I said "these" I meant M179's. Sorry you
misinterpreted that. I had the same problems these other people were
having and more, on both units. All you would have to do is read and
find out that the M179's were susceptible to driver and firmware
issues. These problems are fixed. But for people to come in here and
comment "don't buy these cards, stay away, you'de be better off with
something else, I heard they weren't any good" doesn't do anybody good
when they're trying to make a decision on something. Especially if
they've never owned one theirselves. I'm not trying to start a flame
war, and maybe "operator error" was a little harsh. If people would
just take the time and read, they would more than likely find the
answer or come to the most sensible conclusion. </font></div>

Sure it could be driver issues. Or it could be different design
revisions, or chip lots. Or poor quality control. But if yours works
well, maybe sharing your configuration and card rev info would be more
helpful.<br>
