BitBoys Doh
But I want that 300fps Quake card! Oh wait. Modern cards can already run it at that speed.I have never had any contact with Bitboys, let alone seen their technology. I DO NOT ENDORSE THEM, and I am disturbed that they are saying that I do. There is room in the abridged quote to have this be a misunderstanding, perhaps something along the lines of me endorsing some particular track of future technology which they implement.
