Found a solution; although it cripples my machine. Check out the thread below. Change hal from ACPI x86 to ACPI PC and bang; everything discovered properly and now AERO in full effect. However I want my Dual Core working! I hope there is a fix coming from MSFT/ATI, etc...

I'm running 32-bit RTM Ultimate edition. Driver hell; very frustrating. For a new OS that supposedly ships with 20,000 device drivers on it and another 10k on windows update; this is quite poor for it not to detect recent video cards on a recent platform. Nforce 3 Ultra has been a good...

Anyone having video issues w ATI? I did an inplace from xpsp2 initially; then wiped and did a fresh install. I also tried 3 cards (9700 Pro, X700 Pro, and X1600Pro); keep getting the error below in device manager. Seems to occur whether using WDDM or ATI Beta Vistas. Any thoughts...

Thanks for the feedback! I tried the WMP setting; no good. Then looked at overlay settings in Catalyst and made a setting change and it works now!

I played a little bit of HL2 episode 1 at the 16:10 1440x900 and it was cool so far. I have to do some extended play yet before I decide to keep or not. The video issue when on DVI is still the issue. I have Catalyst 6.7 installed. I may swap out X700 for a 9600XT or GF-FX5750 and see if...

Hi all, Just updated from a 21" CRT to 19" LG Widescreen. Everything works fine so far at 1440x900 resolution when using analog connection. I switched to DVI and everything also seemed fine until I tried to play any video's. In Media player I get the audio but none of the video shows...

I am running a Neo2 with the 1.B bios; i went from 3800+ SC to 3800+ DC and only tinkered w overclock a bit and currently am running 10x230HT so i'm down a 100Mhz but have a 2nd core. For any encoding your going to benefit. I know with better ram and xp90c or another cooler and some more volts...

any clockgen type utils available for ati xpress 200m mobile platforms? just picked up a V2404US Compaq Turion ML-30 powered mobile and would like to tweak it up some. Its pretty competitive with my Thinkpad T42 w 1.7Ghz Dothan but I think it can do better.

thx - i'll check that one out $219 is pretty good

thx all! I used to be an Nvidia user but switched to ATI and have been happy to date. I know nvidia used to provide more frequent driver updates but I think ATI is doing a good job now in that area. 800XT would be nice.

any threads here on that topic?

thx all - i'll check around for a 6800GT. Any recommendations for memory? I'd like something to replace my kingston with? Ballistix, Redlines, OCZ, Corsair? I want to overclock a bit but nothing extreme; i can run my current ram up to about 220 but would like to do 250. Thx!

I want to keep cost down; so sticking w an AGP card is probably what i'm going to do; just need to decide which one; the new board + pci-e card is too costly an option right now; plus i'm thinking of doing 3800+ X2 so my current board will do for quite another year + hopefully

Hi All, Contemplating whether to upgrade from existing Radeon 9700 to an AGP card 6600GT/6800Ultra or ATI 800XL / 850 variant or perhaps replace my K8N Neo2 with the Sapphire Grouper board and a PCIe card. Any recommendations?
