I bought the Radeon 9000, about 2 months ago...and last friday, it stopped working....i took a look at it, and found that the fan had stopped working and it had over heated. i was extremeley annoyed. i have never known a fan to stop working even when cloged with dust (which this wasnt, and all the connections where fine)

I have replaced it with the Geforce FX 5200 and i am very pleased with it. And i am just telling, and warning, people that radeon are, in my view, poor quality.

I just dont think any product should brake within 2 months, they should have some sort of check on them to make sure things like that happens.

And i have never had this ordeal with mcdonalds....

What!
You bought 1 thing and it went wrong, 1 thing.
Maybe 2 or 3, but one, it's hardly fair to say that they are poor quality because one card goes wrong.
I had that same card for a while, worked fine, no problems atall, it was a good little card, i upgraded, and i put the card into my sisters machine, and yup it's still there now working fine with it's little fan spinning.
Radion in my opinion are very good.
But i mean come on, have you ever bought a burger from mc donalds and the gerkin is missing? If you did does that mean that they are poor and that you should never buy from them again?
Thats a little bit like what you are saying about radion, you bought 1 thing, and it broke, so they are bad.
Give them another try in the future, im sure that you will see that they are fine.
