8500LE 128 DDR would have been a much better buy, fact is it is a faster card, tests show it

what driver are you using?

Im using the newest Catalys drivers straight from the ATI website..... for some reason i cant OC at all, makesno sense.....

try the omega drivers they are a beta tweaked version of the cat 2.2 but to be honest some have had probs with it, best bet as I have found is the cat 2.2 ATI drivers and use powerstrip to o/c card
