Well, the FX 5900 Ultra was released on June 28, 2003. You'd
think that card would be fast enough for most any FreeBSD user
for a while... unless you actually want a 6800 Ultra? :)
Although, the 5950 and 5700 were released in October. I don't
think that's a big gap, though. I've seen at least one user
quite happy with his 5900 Ultra.
