Guest Viki Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 dudes. i bought one of these today and cant get my head out of my butt. i need to install the drivers for it and cant find them. what would they be called in device manager? as well, the instructions tell me to uninstall the drivers for my old card prior to/after removal so no conflicts happen. a have a geoforce 420X 64 mb currently. any help? I recently installed an ATI Radeon 9600 and found this pdf file from ATI extremely helpful (my first time installing an AGP card). Everything is outlined very well and should help you to clear up any confusion with the process. It also includes links to everything you could possibly need. Good luck http://www2.ati.com/manuals/Getting_Started.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphirer Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 9800ProAiW? Lucky! All I have is a wimpy 5200, not even a 5200U! But I still can play most games, due to some handy modifications What are you planning to do with an AiW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984 Posted May 7, 2006 Author Share Posted May 7, 2006 9800ProAiW? Lucky! All I have is a wimpy 5200, not even a 5200U! But I still can play most games, due to some handy modifications What are you planning to do with an AiW? i wanted to plug my video camera to my computer and transfer videos (mostly the kids and stuff) to my computer. i also wanted to watch movies from my computer on my tv. the only problem is my computer is in the basement, and the tv i have down here doesnt have ANY inputs except the cable tv feed. my upstairs tv has a kazillion inputs, which i dont even know what most of them are, but its, im guessing here 50 plus feet away from my computer, so i dont know if i can get a cable long enough to do the job. otherwise, i may have to get another tv for the basement, and put this one in the garage. the 9800proaiw only cost 250 (thats canadian, so rougly 220 american) so it really wasnt that pricey. they had some at the store that were like 800 bucks, but i really couldnt justify (especially to my wife ) getting an expensive card like that. i hope this one does the trick. ill post again in this thread when i get everything sorted out and let you all know what is working and what is not.

lokoike Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 9800ProAiW? Lucky! All I have is a wimpy 5200, not even a 5200U! But I still can play most games, due to some handy modifications What are you planning to do with an AiW? I finally finished up a computer for my buddy today that has an ATI x800GT chip and 256 MB of GDDR3 RAM, on a Sapphire PCB (not an AiW, but still a nice card). Spits out some purty pixels, that's for sure! Now if only it was mine... Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
