Hello, guys. I am building a new rig and was wondering how the ATI Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO works? I plan to run Windows ME, since it will be strictly a gaming machine. I know ATI has problems with their Win2k drivers, but despite that, how does the card perform? I was looking at the Matrox G450 Millennium Edition, as well. My friend has the G400 and he can't do didly squat for gaming with it. He even runs 512x??? and that barely runs decent for him! He was wondering how the G450 can game? (32MB DDR version) The Radeon seems to have the better 2D as well as a mediokre 3D engine. Also, it has VIVO, providing a complete all-in-one solution. I do plan to possibly watch Satellite TV on it as well, if I can. Like I said before, this will be strictly a gaming/LAN party machine. Oh yeah, one more thing. I've managed to stay away from ATI for a while because I used to have a couple cards from them before and I got all of these graphic artifacts during gameplay, such as wierd shapes appearing, etc. Does that still happen now? I will be using an Asus A7V133 along with a 1.33GHz Thunderbird, 256MB RAM, SBLive! X-Gamer, 60GB HDD, Mid-Tower ATX case, CDROM. Pretty basic setup, hardware wise. Nothing out of the ordinary. I think the Radeon is my answer to what I'm looking for.
Thank you.
Thank you.
