Hey maybe I have just been lucky but I haven't had a driver issue or a hickup on my OEM 8500. I am on a clean install of XP and it has been FLAWLESS. I admit to only been playing about 6-7 games so far but
Retrun to Castle wolfenstien
Diablo2
Links2001
Ghost Recon
Giants Have all run perfectly...
I changed my AGP to 128 from 64 and gained 300 in 3d20001. Now I didn't figure it to increase that much. Got me wondering.
I went from 7998 to 8314.
Hey I don't know but I am not complaining.
Darren
I ust put a similar system together
Xp1700
gigabyte mb
and a Radeon 8500 OEM
Have played Ghost Recon

so far all is flawless , I am running Windows xp on a clean install.
Can't recommend it enough.
Oh used powerstrip and bumped mem and clock to 280...
Did you manage to get file sharing working?
I have the same set up and got the broadband access working right away but I cant get the file sharing to work.
Any ideas ,or how yours is setup?
Darren
Thanks for the reply.
Am on the night shift so I will try it agian on Monday. I have learned that stubborn comp problems should never be tried after a night shift!
Will post my success or lack of then.
Thanks again
Darren
Ok I am a complete tool when it comes to networking but I am trying to get a Linksys 4 port cable router to work with my new XP machine and my old 98 machine.
I have set it up and have managed to get the net access to work on both but I can't get any file access or anything else going to each...
20-25 seconds.
My specs are 512 mb ram and a WD 7200 rpm on an XP1700
I only have a few things on start up like my Gygabyte utility , Norton2002 and a viewsonic app (hey its a week old)
I have to admit I love to bash Microsoft but Xp really is a great product
Darren
I just got my 8500 2 weeks ago in my new system.
I am running a xp1700 and windows xp.
I haven't seen a single problem in any game or app I have run yet.
Maybe I am just lucky but this thing is rock solid.
Stuff I have ran
DaibloII
Links 2001
Falcon 4.0
Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
Ghost recon...
Was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction to a basic guide on O/C . Especially a new one with info on the Athlonxp series and Kt266a chipset.
Thanks

I just got my new machine up and running all is well. I have a question I am using Powerstrip and have the card at 280/280 with no problems.
Will I get anything more worth trying for from the flash utility out there.
What are the results from peoples experiments from the flash utlilty

I was wondering how different brand motherboards with the same chipset and set up the same can vary up to 5% on benchmarks.
I assume the bios has a lot to do with it but does the actual layout of the board make a difference?
I just ordered one as well , not into o/c just want a good stable board. Will post in a few days with some benchmarks.
XP 1700
Radeon 8500
512 mb DDR
