Very cool ATI! Fixing all the problems pretty fast!! Thats good to know for sure! After they fix all the bugs then they can make the ATI 9700 pro even faster right everyone?

Hehe, I'm scoring well over 10,000 in 3DMark2K1SE @ 1600x1200 already. Even faster? Hell, sure, why not...We can always use a little more speed.

I've been playing 1942 quite a bit since getting the card and have yet to experience any kind of problem with it, or for that matter with any game I've tried thusfar. The card has been superb so far, my only gripe is it's become obvious just how slow my XP1900+ is in comparison and it's making me itch badly for a ~2.53-2.6ghz P4 for some serious overclocking action.
