I'm using an ATI Radeon 8500LE 128MB DDR video in a 1.7+ AMD, 512 DDR RAM system running 98SE.
I've been using the ATI for about 9 months and have been happy with the ATI performance but game clouds would give me a few problems. I hate fooling with a system that isn't really broken, but I decided to take the plunge and install latest DirectX 9.0b and the latest ATI video driver.
As a former GeForce user, I was sure I was about to step into tweaking hell and would forever regret the decision.
Updating the ATI drivers was as easy as a windows update install. A truly painless video driver update.
The end result is a much smoother AH cloud experience. AH runs great at 1028 x 1024 and looks great too. My frame rates rarely fall below video refresh rate, even in a smoking, on-the-deck furball.
I really recommend you check out the ATI Radeon line if you're tired of spending half your life installing , uninstalling and tweaking GeForce cards and a video upgrade is on your list of things to do.
