Woot!!

I just got a new ATI All-In-Wonder 9600XT! So now i hafta go install it and then i hafta figure out what everything does, then i have to test everything, then i have to play games watch movies and listen to the radio, and then i should be back here to talk again. Just thought i'd let you all know!


P.S. ATI Radeon 9000 for sale. Very good condition, 128mb ddr...

 

what kind of specs do you have on the 9000? And how much? And i need to have someone tell me if it will work on this PC.
Quick before they move this:
550 mh pentium III
256 mem, I don't know what else you need

 

Okey dokey. That should keep you busy for at least 10 minutes.

 

It's an older DirectX 8 capable card. Would probably be a pretty good match for your P-III 550.

Do you do any gaming? If so, what games? Newer ones need a lot of horsepower, from both the video card and the cpu, but if you're just doing non-gaming things, you may not see any benefit from a new vid card. What vid card do you have now?

 

It's really old, GT, ATI Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2X.
That's why I think I have so much problem with the pc crashing on flash sites. Even in the arcade it will do it.
Also why I want to add another 256 stick of memory.
I have had this discussion a couple of times in the hardware forum and in drivers tone of the reasons I ended up here. But no one warned me "you can never leave"! LOL!

 

WAHOOO! remote wonder is fun

Kiwi - Its an AGP 4x um... idk much else for specs but it did good for me, just had to upgrade for those newer games (friggen farcry...). oh it has a composite video out too, but i never liked that much, made my TV look weird.

 

Fraunzonk how did you make your icon!?

I want an animated icon.

 

Its a combination of Microangelo Animator and Jasc Animation shop 3. I use Microangelo to make the icon (they have a nice program for it) but it only saves in .ani format. So I open the .ani file in Jasc and save it as a .gif . the combination works very well.

 

Which drivers do you use for this?

See here: http://www.ati.com/support/products...S=Windows+98&cboProducts=RAGE+PRO&cmdNext=GO!

I also have version 4.12.2632 which is more compatible for me than 4.13.2655.

 

Hi Maxwell I think you helped me with this in the hardware thread, I think we are the only two people with this card!
Driver is 5.02195.5013
I hate drivers, when I install new programmes and then look at the version and stuff or try and update, I always seem to end up with the M$ version. I will have to ask in the Drivers forum what I am doing wrong. (After I search of course. I love kitties )

 

Actually, this is a graphics chip rather than a card.

How did you obtain that version number? Was it from the Control Panel/System and viewing the Driver properties of the display adapter under the Device Manager tab.

 

LOL, this is why I came here in the first place!
Under details it says Driver file Ati2drad.dll
Release Version J5.30.1-B02
Under driver files there are lots.
