    DDR266 RAM with A64 CPU

    I had a couple of Crucial PC2100 sticks that would hit 180. I'd bet you could at least run them 166. You could always run the ram async @133 and still have a 2 GHz processor. A huge upgrade from a Duron 800, then upgrade your ram later. Good luck :)

    Cannot change refresh rate

    Don't know if this helps, but I always have to change refresh rate in the monitor tab of the ATI control panel displays menu before I can change the refresh rate in the Windows monitor tab.

    Sapphire Radeon 9500 128 mb non-Pro 160.00 SHIPPED at Newegg

    Recieved my Sapphire red 9500np today from NewEgg. Softmod worked, confirmed with 3dmark fill-rate test. I don't have any checkerboarding or any other strange artifacts. I installed Rage3D tweak 3.8 and overclocked to 300/300 = 13,250 + 3dmark on an Asus A7V333 with a 2700+ cpu. Sweet :D

    How does ATI's card trade up program work exactly?

    I have an old 8 meg pci rage pro card. If they gave me 50 for that on a modern cad, that would be a good deal. Does it really work that way?

    Can't find freeware to convert wmv files to a DVD format (What is that format anyway)

    As far as I know, you can't convert .wmv or .asf files to any other format due to M$ proprietary.
