Anyone seen any performance improvement?

yellow again, or should i say blue,
excuse my slight delight, but i spent 8 hours building it on friday
night(win xp decided to take a holiday!) Anyway, i tried the whole swap the
mobo keep the os thing. it failed badly, my advice is don't put your hopes

ATI states no more than 10 days.  Does anyone know if they generally keep it
that long?  Also what about return shipping?  Do they use the slowest land
method?  I'm here on East Coast Canada btw, and they received my card last
Tuesday.

What's the latest consensus on this?
Earlier, folks were saying the CCC was bloated and not worth installing, to
stick with the Control Panel, which I have been doing.
Has the CCC gotten better? Will it co-exist with ATI Tool ok?

According to http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?p=1333462129
thread, I was told that I bought the wrong video card cooler for my hot
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro AIW (128 MB) video card. I bought an Arctic Cooling
VGA Silencer revision 2. It definitely fixed my DOOM 3 dots issue.

I just updated the hardware in my desktop.  It went
from a 900mHz Athlon to a 4gig Pentium4.
My ATI All-In-Wonder 128 pro video card that I love and
has served me well for 4 years needs to be upgraded.

A short description of the problem:
* forgot to connect the extra power cable (auxiliary is the right term?)
after fiddling with the innards of the PC
* Invalid Sync onscreen instead the normal complainments about the aux power

My current system specs:
Athlon XP 2800+ overclocked to 3200+ speeds.
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro video card, 128 mb,  overclocked for 3d to 413 core, 374
mem.

Well... Apple dropped the ball again.
How many folks in here would pay money for an ATI 9200 card? What kind of PC
games would you expect to be able run on a 9200?
The 9200 chip is what Apple put into their Mac Mini... *sigh*

I just got an x800 pro video card and a Dell 2001fp flat panel.  From what I
have seen, I am supposed to run the flat panel at 60hz.
My question is, won't that limit my fps to 60fps as well?  Any advantage to
running it at a higher mhz?

I have a buddy who works in a brokerage firm who just upgraded some
broker's PC's to a PCI-Express PC (Dell?).  The brokers absolutely
have to have a dual monitor configuration.  He wants to use the PCI
Express slot.

I am having a new PC build and need advice on the choice of Card.  I
see lots of cards for under $100 and many cards over $400 but, I want
to spend between $200-$300.  The ATI Radeon X700 XT or X700 PRO and
the GeForce 6600 GT all look good.

Three years ago I ripped from a videotape using a new "Ati All in
Wonder 128 Pro" video card and the "ATI Multimedia Center" suite.
Now I'm trying to convert this mpeg video to a Standard DVD or a Divx,
but EVERY program displays a "this is not a valid mpeg video file" (I

I currently have Guideplus version 1.0.0.38 which came with my
AIW9700pro. I read in another forum that someone has version 1.0.0.44.
When I run the Guideplus update wizard it tells me I have the latest
version and no update is required. Is there in fact a newer version??

I have a ATI 7500 AIW ... my harddrive went belly up the other day...
