sooooo  the AR being lifetime warranty and the TR a two year warranty is a myth?
No.  the AR's are Lifetime.  Stick with the AR's Coronado.   You and I haven't seen eye to eye at times, but the AR's are what you want.

Wrong.    Absolutely wrong!   

EVGA

AR -Lifetime Warranty
TR - 2 year Warranty

But it seems you're some sort of squeaker who thinks he's trying to be cute with your response.

If you search the Evga forum, you will see that the use of afterburner, impossible to verify as it is, will technically void the lifetime warranty.

Never noticied the Tr letters...I have bought about 15 evga cards over the years and it seems they were all AR's which is lifetime...the TR are 2 years, KR's 3 years..

evga has its own oc utility along with a stress test.  no need to use afterburner.

btw the lifetime warranty only applies if you register your card withing 30 days.  then again, when it comes to lifetime warranty, most card will last you longer than you will need them.  i have a 9800gtx+ with life time warranty ended up giving it away, couldnt wait for it to get damaged to upgrade to a evga 465 again with a lifetime warranty.

lifetime is nice to have, but doesnt mean you will every use it.  then again, who knows, the extra 20 bucks you pay for the lifetime might be worth more than the 50 or 60 bucks you pay at best buy on top of it.

Only recently did Precision allow you to unlock the voltage without using their other program.  Afterburner has always allowed you to.  Very easy to make a custom fan pro so why switch at this point..

32 bit only recognize up to 3 or 3.5gb of RAM...so if you had 2gig of ram and 1 gig card, it would still work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

it might be better to post your Computer specs of all components and the operating system ( which you did WinXP Pro 32 bit )

then let people give suggestions......

Spike, yes kind of.. Windows 32 bit OS will recognize up to 3.25 gb's of memory... but the kicker is all 32 bit programs/software will only be able to utilize a total of 2 gb's TOTAL...... ( unless you use some type of batch file , work-a-round to use more ram, more trouble than it's worth.....but we did it with AutoCad back in 1999 thru 2003 or so )

edit: is the XFX tech just saying that because of limited support of XP or soon to be from MicroSoft????

also, have you thought about possibly upgrading to lets say "Windows 7 64 Bit" ( either Pro or Ult. versions )  ? ( these versions will recognize  up to 92 gb's of Memory +.... I know Ultimate is up in the 160+ gb's  )

hope this helps...

I ASSume because it's an older OS and everything is geared for newer stuff, utilizing all the new cards potential.
I don't want to buy a $175 card and get the same performance i got from my 8800 GTX.And I'm almost positive it's a 64 bit, not 32. FWIW
