Its been a while since ive posted here, but there always seems to be good info on the boards. I have a 9700 that i bought prob 2 years ago, that usually comes up with a blank screen when the computer loads. I have to cycle the computer for a few min until it loads which is pretty annoying, but once it is on it is good, even if i have to restart, it will continue to function. I also soft modded the card to 9700 pro, and the fan has died a long time ago. I set up another fan so it isnt a big deal, but does anyone know why it doesnt start up right away? I dont really want to upgrade until I go 64 and get pci express. Thanks for the input.
