I'm sorry, but that's simply an ignorant statement. If ATi cards ran into the issue so much more than Nvidia's then you'd certainly hear major stories about it. Instead you never do. You'd also see OEM manufacturers completely shunning ATi cards, that doesn't happen. Your statement is beyond ridiculous even, in fact I know you have no real evidence to even back it up, sorry but the anecdotal "evidence" you read on forums is in no way real proof.

This one is a PNY 7600GS 512MB AGP Card. Got it for $100 too, like the last one, and so far, it is outstanding!
I did notice that the ATI card shared resources with my USB Devices, and when it would crash, or slow down, my USB mouse would stop working too.

It sounds like an odd issue Erad, software related since you mention the USB devices having issues with a crash. Probably a chipset driver and ATi's driver not behaving so well together. Not sure why your first 7600GS would run into an issue and your new one doesn't, they use the same core for example and the same drivers also.
