Hi,
Okay - I just purchased (it has not arrrived yet) a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256 MB AGP Video Card as the last touch for a socket 939 system running an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU. My question is this -The ATI 1950 card is the first ATI-based card that I will putting in my system. I was very happy with my Nvidia EVGA 6600 GT, and my current Nvidia EVGA 7600 GS. The time has come, however, that some of the games I would like to be able to play need a more aggressive GPU - And the X1950 Pro seems powerful enough (for now) So, I just need to know if I need to make any modifications to my current computer (speaking software modifications - I already ordered a better Power supply) to run the ATI-based video card? I don't want to worry about re-installing windows XP (Home SP2) or anything like that. Normally I would let my tech worry about it but PCCLub bit the dust and I am forced to look elsewhere.
thanks,
John
