If you don't, you get those errors. Vista and Win7 have it "built-in", so it's not much of an issue anymore, and has been forgotten.
If you do, then it might be time for an OS re-install. Make sure to update the OS before installing vga drivers.

wow man lots of os problems
3dmarm 06 and actually most of the lower 3dmarks see little to no gain from oc of the gpu's while games etc see tons of it. the programs like 3dmark scale with your cpu more then your gpu. so tjhe higher you oc your cpu the higher your cpu and gpu scores will be.

I uninstalled everything ATI and popped in the xp cd and repaired my windows installation, then re-updated to sp3. And nothing has changed. My OS must be corrupted in some way caused by that stupid "auto-tune" feature in CCC crashing my computer twice.
Ohh well....I somehow knew better than to use "auto-tune" I just didn't listen to my own advice. ![]() EDIT: well, here goes....installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 with a flash drive.

as for 7, get home premium or pro, and get an OEM version, not an upgrade.
far cheaper, no real loss of features.

well, I'm not too happy that I cannot install Firefox or Thunderbird in 64-bit, apparently after trying a few times. Now I must figure out how to retrieve my profiles. I think I like it though most definitely, just not sure about the 64-bit.

I have some good news and some other good news.....alright!
![]() My CPU is not as much of a bottleneck as I had thought for my 2x4890s........after monitoring the GPU usage during a GTR2 race, I see that the cards are hitting a maximum of ~70%-80% usage. Everything just seems way smoother and better with 7 x64. And the other good news is the HD audio is awesome when driving an F-1 car

Well my rig crashed on me last night after about an hour of racing Dirt2 when I had the cards recklessly overclocked without testing to 901/1000. I set them back to stock and all was well for 3-4 hours of straight racing. My system thrashes Dirt2 even with the cards @ 850/975. I'll test them out for max OC later on.
