radeon conflict problems??

[PowerYoga]

i heard that the radeon has problems when coupled with SBLive!, Windows XP, and an AMD Athlon... is that true? Its the only thing that deterrs me from getting the card... somebody please clear this up

I don't think anyone else has noticed but it seems to be the EPOX KT133 mobos that get the blunt of the conflicts. However, this was for the original Radeons and I think this week's latest driver took care of it.

Too bad the Rage3d forums are down again, you could get an answer over there, though instead of "Athlon" you ought to state which motherboard you are using.

Not true on my rig.

i used to run a 750 duron, radeon vivo, epox 8k7a, sblive value, and win98. no problems at all.

I run:

AMD Athlon XP
EPoX EP-8KHA+
Radeon 8500 LE
SBLive! Value
Windows XP

with no problems at all

I have a All-in-Wonder Radeon. My specs are below, but I have loads of trouble with mine. I don't know if there are conflicts, but my screen goes black, system locks up, etc... Are there any drivers to fix this problem? Is there any way to solve it?

I'm using the K7S5a mobo with a T0bird 1.2 with a Radeon VIVO before and a Radeon 8500 now.. and I dont' seem to have your problems. Perhaps it's your power supply, The ECS K7s5a is very picky on PSUs.

Good responses. I didn't know that about the ECS mobo.

I have a TBird 1333@1333 on my A7V133, SBLive (not 5.1) and run Win2K, with the Radeon 8500. Works great, except for the flickering shadows in Operation Flashpoint, but I think I have that one solved.
