video card manufacturers
Would you guys recommend buying manufacturers other than ATI and Nvidia like Sapphire etc.? Are they as reliable?

Welcome to PCMech, lalalland!
 nVidia and ATi aren't really the manufacturers of video cards. They supply their chipsets to manufacturers, and the individual manufactures (Abit, Gainward, Asus, Sapphire, etc.) make the cards.

FF2K2, ATi *does* manufacture video cards. They have always been. Only until recently they have jumped on the built-by-others bandwagon.
Sapphire does manufacture some of the Built-by-ATi video cards, but not all AFAIK. Sapphire also makes its own Powered-by-ATi units.

Thanks for clearing that up, Nuke.
 I guess that show how long I've been following ATi

I would recommend ASUS and Abit for Nvidia cards. I would steer away from PNY, ECS, FIC, and Biostar. Most often, though, I lean towards buying ATI cards manufactured by ATI.
