the card itself is actually about twice the size as the old geforce. I figured, its a few years younger and has twice as much memory, newer chipsets and better technology. So, i get an ati (that was the first mistake) radeon 2600 HD pro agp. I had been using an old geforce fx 5600 with 256 mb for quite some time, and with agp going obsolete, I wanted to get whatever high end agp card i could find before they become hard to find.

I still have a pretty decent pc from the AGP era which I had decided to upgrade to its fullest extent before i bite the bullet and start building a new pc with pci16x with either crossfire or sli.

To do the force install, you don't use the installer utility, you put the files into a folder, then do the manually select driver deal, have disk, point to the folder bit.

My advice, if you're having difficulties and want the newest driver, force the install of ATI's newest drivers from their site for the PCIe version, at worst it won't work, then you just go back and uninstall it, if it works with your card the card will work, very well, but without the control center. Since the whole driver batch does install it seems to work for every application I've tried (from various years 3Dmark05, Quake 2 & 3, Crysis, Medal of Honor and a couple of other games which I forget). Compatibility is good and the card works fine with every game I tried after doing this, you just don't have any of ATI's control settings.

If you're looking for a 512MB AGP Video Card, go nVidia. After about a day of this non-sense, I returned the card, because ATI was just giving me generic solutions via phone and email, and the ATI Out-sourced Manufacturer of the card I had purchased's forums were saying there was no fix for this (XP, or Vista), I gave up. It just closed my game, and that was that. I actually tested Counter-Strike: Source first, and the first time this happened, within the first minute of my black-out, the system recovered.

When it came to games, is the part that really made me go crazy.Р В РІР‚СњР вЂ™Р’В«attlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Counter-Strike: Source, Gary's Mod 10, Zombie Rising (HL2 MOD), Portal, Air Rivals, Jedi Outcast 2, Dark Age of Camelot - Catacombs / Labyrinth, and World of Warcraft.Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›LL of these games would send both monitors black, and freeze the system withing 10 minutes of playing. Watching movies, I did actually see a performance increase.

After getting back into Windows Vista (yes, the card did say Windows-Vista Compatible), everything was fine (except now Windows was having a rundll error, always fun). I took this card back, so I don't remember).Р В РІР‚СњР В РІР‚С›fter going through the process of locating the drivers, I had to reboot, normal right? Well unfortunately, all of my BIOS, and checksums were pixelated. Had to locate these drivers off of the Manufacturer's website (which was not ATI, it was some other brand.

To start things off, the video card would not take the drivers from the CD, itself. Edit: Made a mistake in title, it's the 2600, not 6600.
