9700pro beats 9600XT easily, glad I bought one a year ago :) by
rms
"We continue to see that the Radeon 9700 Pro is performing quite well and
unfortunately ATI's assertions that the 9600 XT would perform similarly to
the 9700 Pro are simply untrue. Given the very low price of the Radeon 9700
Pro we'd strongly suggest buying a 9700 Pro over a Radeon 9600 XT"

Cat 3.8 finally got it right by
Craig
I have been somewhat disappointed with the Radeon 9700 and 9800 pros that I
have as although they are very fast, they have always had choppy frames or

I recently setup a new PC and made the mistake of installing the
Catalyst 3.8 drivers for my 9700PRO before installing DirectX 9. I

Going from Cat 3.8 back to 3.7 by
Dave
I'm getting a number of issues with the new Cat 3.8 drivers. Halo keeps
chucking BSODs when changing resolution and just plain falls over if I
actually get it running in 1024x768 on my Rad8500.
I want to go back to the 3.7 drivers. Can I just uninstall the 3.8 and
install the 3.7s or do I need...

out of the box at 391/351 from the factory. I installed the 3.8 cats, as we

Delay when booting with Cat 3.8's by
Paul D. Sullivan
First, does the VPU Recover only work in Windows XP?
Also, try disabling the secondary adapter to get rid of the
long-boot.
ATI processes the secondary adapter for some reason. It is
causing monitor failures too.
Like many here I've also tried the Cat 3.8's. What I have
noticed is 2D...

I haf an ti4200 - though with my evil PC to upgrade the VGA...
