Exactly. And if my HD content plays just fine without that support, then
I'm not exactly sure why I need it. Kinda like if my Toyota gets me to 
work in the same amount of time as Ferrari, I'm not exactly impressing my friends,
but my boss (wife) doesn't really care. And at least my Toyota (ATI) isn't
in the shop all the time, unlike my Ferrari (nvidia).
 
Oh, BTW, the latest ATI drivers support OpenGL 2.0.
