It doesn\'t only happen in 3D cards it also goes on with CPU\'s as well, games only really support Pentium that\'s why it says on the back of the box that a pentium is needed. It is changing now though with AMD making just as good if not better CPU\'s than intel. Giants fully supports AMD "3D now" technology on the cpu\'s, so if you think about it you don\'t really have that much freedom in buying a PC for games as some people claim. It\'s like buying a console, well almost. The freedom comes in deciding which Geforce to buy and how fast you want your Intel Pentium:D
