Both companies make crappy drivers and life is just too short (though ATI is getting better than they were).
Have you tried a fresh install with a NVidia card? Sometimes it really is a case of a bad card w/ crappy driver support.
Just my $.02. YMMV and all that ;) |
I'll try getting rid of the live drivers and such, I'd like to upgrade but I just can't justify dropping $150 on a new soundcard(Would prefer pci-e as I only have 2 pci slots)
No I don't have any other video cards that would work in this system aside from very old PCI cards(such as the rage128)

Was one of the first sites I tried. None of those apply in this situation however.
