a little typo ... "as much as 5 years to 1, effectiv" 3 not 5

then explain this: "ATI Technologies Inc. warrants to the original purchaser of the hardware that the product is in good working condition, according to its specifications at the time of shipment, for a period of one to five years from the date of original purchase. The warranty term depends on the product. RADEON 7000 and newer products have a three year warranty. DV Wonder cards have a two year warranty. The Remote Wonder has a one year warranty. All other ATI products have a five year warranty."

They should have retained the 3-year warranty at least on the high-end cards ... This isn't some cheap $10/$20 electronics we are looking at here.
