Has anyone tried the new drivers for the ATI Radeon (ver. 4.13.7072)? They were posted on ATI's website (http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/winme/winme_4137072_sp.html) on Jan. 16th with the following disclaimer: "This is a Special Purpose Driver which is optimized for OpenGL and DirectX...

This is a scam! I gave them my information at least 2 months ago and never received anything. Just like all those bogus free t-shirt offers I've filled out over the years. Don't give this company you personal information, you'll never get anything from them! Regards, agaraffa BTW - I...

I recently built a new system and put a SoundBlaster 64 PCI sound card that I had lying around in it. When the system boots up I get an error message that says "Cannot load MIDI waveset" I checked everything and all looks OK. Drivers installed correctly, etc. I'm not going to be...

b1er, From the opinions I received from my post entitled "ATI Radeon 32MB DDR or Geforce MX 32MB?" there are many varied opinions regarding your question. I think either card is a solid choice. I am sticking with the ATI Radeon 32MB DDR for its 2D and DVD playback quality. agaraffa

To all those who vigerously argued their opinion: I've decide to keep the Radeon 32MB DDR. That along with my ASUS P3V4X motherboard and a Pentium III 800MHz Copermine 133MHz FSB with 256 MB RAM should give me a substantial performance increase over the Pentium 233MMX with 128MB RAM and a...

Mustang, Just one more quick question. What Geforce 2 GTS can I get for $150? Most of them that I've seen have been around $250. Big name brand anyway (ASUS etc.) agaraffa

For Varborta and anyone else interested, I heard about the $50 rebate on another hardware website. It is only available on purchases at CompUSA retail stores. Actually, I think it is also available on purchases at another retail outfit but I forgot which store. Before I bought the card I...

I just purchased a ATI Radeon 32MB DDR for $199 with a $50 rebate. Is this a good card for $149? Or should I have gone with a Geforce MX 32MB? I have yet to open the box so returning it is still an option. Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks, agaraffa:confused:

I have been in the process of building a new system. I am currently running a Pentium 233 MMX with a Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 video card. In all my research I consistently read rave reviews of the latest and greatest $400 - $500 video cards. At the same time I read many people in the forums...

It's time for me to upgrade my home finance software. I've been using Quicken for several years. However, I'm not that impressed with their online banking features (downloading checking account transactions, etc.) Does anyone have any experiences with Microsoft Money? Let me know what your...

Just to clear up the misconception, I am building a new system. I think my P166 has served me well, time to retire the old girl. As for my new system, I'm leaning toward an Athlon Thunderbird 900MHz with 256MB RAM. agaraffa

I am in the process putting together a new computer. I'm still running my old Pentium 166 which I built while I was in school. At that time I thought that a video card was one of the most important components in a PC and researched extensively before choosing the Diamond Stealth 3000 3D, a...

Four letters... M.U.L.E. - What a great game! Goes back to my C64 days. Followed by... ZORK I ZORK II Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Any other Infocom Game BTW - Anybody know where I can get M.U.L.E. for the PC? I tried to run a C64 emulator on my PC but it didn't run very well 8-(
