    PowerColor ATI Radeon X1650 PRO with ASUS A8V DELUXE MOBO

    what is CAT? the link u gave these are the drivers for the x1650 or i have to install this first then the 9.3 drivers?....i just reinstalled windows and followed the exact directions from the ati website with 9.3 and net framework and directx9c and it still freezes and restarts every time

    PowerColor ATI Radeon X1650 PRO with ASUS A8V DELUXE MOBO

    also i have checked and the ATI website has 9.3 as the the only one available, which means i already tried 9.3 and it didn't work.....this sucks
