3d Benchmarking
How beasty is the PC you play games on? I just finished my new machine. It got 5391 on 3dMark03, and 14744 on 3dMark2001. What are your scores? Be careful the 3dMark03 tests are pretty taxing. 
Specs:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon XP 2600+ Barton, 333FSB
Radeon 9800 Pro
1GB twinned PC3200 RAM

We want 3d benchmarking scores! Google for 3dmark2001 download, since 3dmark03 will be choppy on your machine I think.

Yep 
I sent it to repair, but they said I wont get it back before April, so I asked if I could change the card to another one... Still waiting for a response to see if they accepts it...
Since I re-inserted my Geforce 3 TI200 card everything has been working MUCH MUCH better... there's NO WAY I'm going insert another Ati card within the next MANY years

You can get problems with any card. The high end Radeons are the best cards.

What problems? It might just be a fluke but you don't want to take that chance with a $200/300 piece of hardware.
Anyways, I got somewhere around 3000/4000 (forgot) in 3DMark03 with:
A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon XP 2700+
768MB Ram (I think it's DDR2100)
Radeon 9600 AIW

After having the same problems both before and after a complete reformat, it's pretty obious that the problem is the card...
The problems is: It made 50% of my games unplayable... and TV-out sucked very much (Lower picture quality than the Geforce 3 card, just to mention one of the problems with the tv-out)
The advantage: ONE game got a higher frame-rate
I'm a little scared about the card I'm about to switch it to. In a test of this card they mentioned that this card's video-quality was finally (?) on the same level as Ati cards... this probably means the quality went down... WAY DOWN!!!

Now don't go all nutso  . I'm sure that not all ATi cards are terrible, why else do they keep getting such good reviews? Another interesting read (couldn't tell if there was one superior brand), but Ananad tech is leaining toward Nvidia in their Q1 2004 overview. Anyways, I'm just rambling again.....
OOoh, OOh! On-topic: ~6500 in 2001!
p.s. RMA the bad stuff!

Matt........worth considering that our board will use RAM more efficiently if it's paired and you have a identical stick in slots 1 and 3.
Other than that it's amazing to see how much a difference the 9800Pro makes over the 9600Pro.

ADG: The card is fine, and you should look harder at what could cause the incompatibility.

After spending over 2 months of looking, I'm happy to have gotten rid of it...

Well strange stuff does happen, and it's a pig when it happens to you.
However, I'd still buy the 9700Pro or 9800Pro if it were me and I was looking for a card.

Hmm, not sure if the board's feature works with that setup. What does it say on the post screen about the RAM? You have to skip the logo screen if you still have it turned on.

I did 3dmark2001 on a laptop here. it's a pentium1200 (or 1400?) witha gef2 Go and I reckon 512 MB ram. Nothing special, don't even know the specs that well.
have 2337 on it. I'll do it again on my desktop later on when I have access to it .

That's interesting. My old machine, which was an Athlon 1.2Ghz (running slightly faster with a FSB overclock) and a moderate card got a rubbish score on 2001, something like 1500 I think.
