X700 - Has anyone heard of an X700 card? -- Thank you, Jim Brown Messages checked for Viruses with Norton

X700 pro - I have an emachine T6212 and recently upgraded to an x700 pro pci express, my computer had onboard ati x200 express graphics in it and i was wondering if i was supposed to disable it before my new video card? Also is 300w power supply enough..

Do you like your ATI X700? - I'm thinking of replacing my ATI 9600 AGP with an ATI X700 Pro AGP. How do people like their X700?

X700 Pro question - Just put this in my computer, it seems 3dMark 03 does not like it. I did the hotfix for teh X800 card thinking taht would fix it, but it does not start. Also, does not support the X700 yet either. And under advanced 3D tab,..

x700 vs 9800pro - Hello all anyone know whether there'll be an agp version of the x700 and how much better the x700 is than the 9800pro? Which would you go for with my system (athlon 2000, 512mb ram). thanks Richard

Driver version on the adapter properties say 6.14.10.6467. But I see 5.3
catalyst at ATI web site. How do I know which is the correct number?

Thanks

William, Here is my best advice, gained from several years of hands on experience: if the card is working right then DON'T update the driver. You never know what might happen, as ATi is notorious for driver problems. If it ain't broke, don't fix it -- Todd >> Stay informed about: New to ATI and X700
