Just read in the latest edition of PC Gamer magazine's hardware section that the latest ATI cards will clamp down the AGP slot on the motherboard if the BIOS is older.

I think you guys are moving in the right direction.

Newer ATI cards + older motherboards = slow video

to be fair a 9600pro isnt THAT good. Ram doesnt = performance. a 9700pro with 128mb by your idea of performance would be rubbish, but its the fact the core and ram is faster, not how big the ram is.

yes but it doesnt have the SPEED to do 512k textures...yes it has the space to store them but the important thing is how fast it can draw them.
