i have an argument with some random guys about a guy asking for recommendation $1000
http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2086653
the guy will be using the computer for multitasking not gaming, the guy has a 1680x1050
the computer will be used for Outlook, IE, Firefox (20+ tabs), Excel, and Word running at all times.
that being said, my #1 priority is reliability and good software and driver support
i choose the gts 250 1gb over hd 5770 because of proven reliabity, good software support, good old games support, good enough performance even for the most demanding games @1680x1050(crysis, farcry 2 ,gta 4,etc) good driver support, and a bonus with cuda that supports adobe, nero, kaspersky, etc
since this will be his work computer and will multitask a lot
i made a conscious decision to choose a much cheaper and more reliable card rather than risk for unneeded performance with bugs that could potentially be disastrous to the op
proof that the issue is real and existing

to anandtech staff, mods, admins, etc
i provided my argument to them with evidences, facts, links, videos, charts
i believe that each of the things i pointed out is reasonable enough to not qualify as a troll
i respect someone else point of view
but calling me wrong, unreasonable and troll
i cant just let that go away, i made an argument to them
i admit to use some slang words because calling me wrong and a troll without any basis seems to unreasonable to me
one of your mods even edited one of my post saying i am a troll
to all of anandtech staff, mods, crew admins, etc
im very disappointed that anandtech seems like lower its standard to just call someone a troll because someone cant win an argument
if you think all of the things i pointed out is unreasonable, i respect your opinion
but i hope to all members, future members, etc this event wont happen again
with all my respect to anandtech
