i know, looking through that hardware guide, it makes me want to get the 9800 but past experience with ati on 3 different machines makes me afraid to go for one.
it was weird, none of them liked me lol, the last one was my gf's it worked before then, some installations on hr computer went wrong(nothing to do with the card) so we reinstalled everything, the last thing to install was the graphics card, it was soo anoying went through trying to install it for about a day, it kept reseting the comp, which just frustrated me because i knew it worked before, i just kept changing different settings checking bios over and over, eventually went to safe mode, changing something and it worked, cant remember what.
the other two cards one was on this pc, again the comp didn't like it, it wouldnt reset the pc it would just shut down the screen, i tryed changing the screen size, refresh rate, everything, but nothing worked. so that on was given to my brother lol, luckily I got it working on his which made me grrrr. the first one I had should have worked, as the onbourd card was ati, but it had similar problems to the one i gave to my bro, that ended up getting sold on ebay.
and that is why I get scared about buying another ati. they are great when they are going, but a real bitch when they don't like you lol
