I just picked up a Radeon 9600 SE (128mb ram) for low money and I am less than thrilled by it's performance: not huge gains over the 8500 I have on loan.
I am brand new to ATI cards since I primarily run Linux, and ATI is well known for having...less than stellar drivers for linux.
BUT That is why I bought the card: more testing, and no fear of damaging someone else's stuff!
So what I am asking for is help to optimize the 9600 in windows and/or on a bios level: I want to test in both OSes for perfomance and so on.
I really don't want to keep Win2K on the test machine any longer than I have to, so I will probably end testing in windows within the next few days:
Any help to get it running as well as possible is appreciated.
