Your opinion is as outdated as the link you provided. A link from March 6th?
Are you kidding?

Only the FX5800 Ultra board has the loud fan and the poster asked about the
FX 5900 which has a quiet fan.

You'd be hard pressed to find an FX5800 Ultra if you wanted one.

Check Tomshardware or Anandtech or Xbit labs for some current information .
.. . . like that the FX5900 kicks ATI butt.

But only Speed wise. It's still inferior to the Radeon 9500+ Series image
quality wise, especially when using FSAA.
