my new card

well, its about time I quit limping with the crap 7200 I have. This was the card I was waiting for … a sweet 9600 GT from Sparkle, bought paid for and waiting for delivery :D

Wish me luck with Windlight and SL with the drivers :P

    Miss Hypatia,

    Please let me know how it works out for you; I have one in a box myself, while awaiting other parts, and I’m hovering on whether to return it or not.

    its installed, and working great!

    I had to get a new power supply but other than that, once I got that, got both installed and my computer is much happier with Windlight now :)

    well maybe not as great… I had huge trouble after a while … the VIA chips on my motherboard didnt like my card.

    After some hair pulling trying to figure out why the random bluescreens - I was able to track down the right driver (was pretty much hell, my computer manufacturer had all their support drivers WRONG - had to go on the hardware sites and find the stuff for my card)

    No more bluescreens, knock on wood, since end of last week.

    oh, the saga. Card failed two days ago, black screen as Vista booted. Going back to where it came from… sobs.

    Looking again for a card that doesnt fry :)
