Hi, i'm currently building a comp and I'm thinking of putting in a AIT Radeon 7000 (64 MB DDR w/ TV-out) with a MSI K7Ultra. I've built this same comp before(same proc,MB, and Vid) and haven't really had a problem. But now whenever I ask for the card, everyone keeps telling me that they've had alot of incompatibility issues with the card and XP. Anyone else heard or experienced this? PS: Yes, I am runnign XP on the previous machine. thanks!

I'm also having some issues with ATI and XP. I switched to XP and had to re-install everyhthing. Now all my driver upgrades, including the Omega drivers, won't load anything because they say there's no video driver present. I suggest doing what I did, go to www.ati.com and get the Catalyst drivers for XP. They should work fine. Just don't try upgrading them, it won't work. note: if anybody has any answers to that issue please feel free to help.

I have a biult by ATI radeon 7000 64 mb ddr and XP pro they work fine togather. I also built a system with a radeon 7500 64 mb ddr and XP home and it works fine. Yea You must uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones. Take Care Ron Watts

When I first got XP I had an ATI Radeon 32MB DDR card, and it installed just fine. I recently upgraded to a Radeon 8500 and like the last one it installed fine, and both worked perfectly. The only problems that I have heard of were people upgrading from a non-ATI card, or problems back when XP was first released. Also, nVidia is the more popular card and many people (fanboys) will try to tell you how bad ATI is. Just don't pay any attention to them. It's true that ATI used to have driver problems back when the Rage 128 cards were out, but they have taken care of that and the cards are every bit as good or even better than the nVidia cards are. Good luck :)

I use AMD. I guess that makes me a fanboy? I use ATI and will probably get the radeon 9700 when it comes out.Its not just the fanboys that worship nvidia the intel bluesuites do also. ATI is Fine They once had a problem with drivers but that has long since past. AMD,VIA,ATI and XP all work togather just fine

Thanks everyone, I went ahead and ordered the 7000 again. This is the second comp i'm building... this time for my cousins... I wonder when i'll get enough money to build my own? -Me
