You sure about that. I'm on my 3rd ATI 9800 Pro is three years (the previous two not even lasting a year). The first burned out randomly. The 2nd had poor fan quality and went into fan failure and burned out. I'm on the 3rd right now, and doubt it will make a year before burnout.
The good thing though is that the ATI cards (at least the one I've bought) come with a 3 year warranty and replacement if they become fried, and so far ATI has held good on that. You have to register the card as soon as you buy it for the warrant to be valid though. And it only pertains to cards bought directly, not pre-installed on a prebuilt computer (like DELL, Gateway, etc.)
