lol

you have said it yourself, "since my dad always buys me the best sound equipment.. bla bla bla bla"

basically you're saying "I'm rich.."

Serien

you are about to be PWNT

You said, over and over, when I was buying my speakers "They suck, they really do. they're just like headphones"

"I know this because i"ve had the best sound out"

do those mean antyhing to you..?

and by the way..I won the card in the contest.. (lol calm down, i know what you ment)

TallonX

he was saying that about the spkearers basicly becuz they are. Im not taking anyones sides cuz ur both my frineds.  but the speaker thing was becuz of the Hz. Those have the same ratio or sumthin as head phones. And hey, we all help eachother if we have questions. So why do we have to talk about are faimly's echonomical posititons? Isn't it as long as we hellp each other?

pfft..u guys..

I seem to be having some problems with my graphics card (9800 XT)

soemtimes when i play for a while, i get a smartsave message saying that the graphics card stopped responding, so it was reset

sometimes in games, the graphics really get screwed, like the models are all gray instead of showing clothes etc.

how would I go about...fixing this?

Maximane

Do you have the latest version of the Catalyst drivers?

For your convenience...

will those work for me 9800 xt?

i mean..are they the most specific drivers i can get?

TallonX

Radeon has a universal driver if im not wrong. I think that those work for anything from like 9200. Correct me if im wrong

Serien

when i click unintsall on the Ati Display Drivers it says "9800 xt? or secondary 9800 xt?"

now i know which one to choose, im wondering would these drivers be able to tell that it's a 9800 xt?

Maximane

While it is not necessary to uninstall your old drivers, it is highly recommended. This is to ensure a clean installation without any remnant files or registry markers from the old drivers.
