So far my card has been doing great! But I have a few questions.

1) In the Display settings, custom settings should I change the OpenGL TAB and the Direct3D TAB settings?

Default its using the Anti-Preferences for both Anti-Alisasings and Anisotropic were its grayed out to use. Should I leave those default or uncheck them and max them out to 6X and 16X for better preformance?

2) Before I installed the new card and AMD XP 2100 CPU I flashed my BIOS to the lastet version on my EPOX 8KHA+. Sometimes when I boot up my machine it has a countious beep and my monitor wont kick on. If I reboot it usually boots up fine on the second or third try. Im wonder if this issue is with the video card or board? Im also useing a Antec 400 PS.

check the beep codes in your manual
also check the leds (if u have them) on the MB for diagnostic message

As for the driver settings ... I set the sliders to performance settings. (self explanitory)

Setting the other switches to others, than app preference, could cause problems in your
applications that need the settings you turned off ... (self explanitory)
