I could probably figure this out, but would prefer not to do trial and error with the bios. Have an Abit GF4 4200 1.) Just want to verify that there would be no problem replacing the current bios with the most recent reference bios, or should I use the Abit bios that is still a revision back...

only 7db.... from 200 feet away.... in another room.... in a different building.... I could see 27db a lot easier than 7db, but even than that is pushing kind of low for the cfm of air that would need to flow past the heat sink to provide adequate cooling, unless the 7 db is in the low...

For about $110-$125 you could pick up a Ti4200 64mb card. Works as well as a 128mb card in most current games, certainly at lower resolutions. You start to lose out on its bigger brother when you crank the resolution up, turn on AA and play the more recent heavily graphics intensive games.

I prefer pdf995 (it's adware, or you can buy it for $10) it installs as a printer and as long as you can print something it can be turned into a pdf file regardless of format it is.

Just installed the new drivers and it looks like they built the refresh fix into the drivers ala ATI. You can find them at the site below. The article does not talk about the refresh fix but it has the download link, just found the fix while playing with the driver settings (better...

Why do they do this. I thought the numbering system was to match DirectX capabilities 9XXX -> DX9 8XXX -> DX8 7XXX -> DX7 Since they changed it for the 9000 reg. & pro I guess they might as well for the 8500/9100

Asked for clarification b/c 9500 and 9500 pro are seperate products Asked for clarification again b/c 9500 and 9500 pro are seperate products and sited the 10-24-02 press release for rebate information.

heres the difference pulled from toms hardware

E-mailed ATI about the much sought after rebate for the 9500 Pro and got a canned system responce about a different rebate program. My guess would be that it would be similar, in as much as participating retailers and general guidelines. probably doesn't help anybody, but don't count on...

Just for the sake of testing. Why don't you try set up dual monitors using both cards and see what happens. See if windows still recognises that the gf3 is still in your computer. If the agp port is dead, windows will not be able to recognize it, you should probably ditch the nvidia driver...

Isn't there suppose to be a twenty dollar rebate on this? Has anybody seen a rebate form?

Viewsonic makes some great monitors, I use a P220f for AutoCAD and love it. Perfectly flat and great clarity. She will most likely need a 19" or larger monitor for any type of graphics work. Make sure there is no curve to the screen and that it has a small dot pitch. Drives me nuts to stare...

You could go to ATI's website and look through the archive of press releases. Involves a little reserch, but you will know that it is accurate.

That rebate expired 11/2/2002
