so go visit the site and get the new drivers! server is really busy though, so good luck with speeds! I got my download already!

(not bad for a first post, eh?)
 
Catch23 - yet i say again.. are you ever happy????? you should get a new user name and call yourself the incredible moaner or somethin like that
 
lol

I got the Radeon 8500 about 3 months ago and I am very happy with it... (knock on wood)
 
Don't lie...

Are you sure you were installing the ATI drivers properly? They are some pretty sophisticated performance drivers that require advanced driver installation knowledge.
 
meh, too bad ati's site wasn't sending at 3K/s
 
Catch23: You should let the ATI drivers install automatically instead of installing them manually and messing them all up. I am begining to see now that ATI technology is way above your brain bucket!:p
 
Catch23: The only thing I'm doing is enjoying 10000+ 3DMark scores and watching my Digital Doc 5 display 34.8C GPU temp.

"Snatch the Radeon GPU from my hand, then you are ready to begin your journey into true graphics performance!":D
 
ati's site is really packed today. i couldn't connect until i tried about 30 times. i'm lucky i got in early. they need some mirrors to host. i'm seeing a little performance improvement and better graphics already. medal of honor looks sweet!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
