| 1201199 | 2011-05-11 03:44:00 | The 10.2 legacy vista catalyst (support.amd.com) drivers work sweet on Win7. I installed an X300 the other day on Win7, and it works perfectly. Transparency etc all go, and it can playback 720p no worries. Didn't check is x64 was available though, it should be. Edit: Yep that's available (support.amd.com) too. |

| 1201202 | 2011-05-11 04:13:00 | thats good to know. I dont really need to worry which one i win or not, as both are at least better than what i have. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||

| 1201204 | 2011-05-11 04:21:00 | The drivers are fine, as my 128mb card uses the same driver download off the amd site. I think the card just has crap capacitors. basically if i start up a game say "gta san andreas" i get past the menu and loading screen, but when i get to the actual game part, i can move the charactor around for about 5 seconds, then every thing freezes and my screen goes black, and it continuously does this. this does not happen on my 128mb radeon. |

| 1201205 | 2011-05-11 05:21:00 | The 2600 is the better card IMO. However that doesn't mean to say it's good. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1201206 | 2011-05-11 05:24:00 | the 2600 is directx 10 wheras the 7600 is directx 9. i dont have any direct x 10 games. The 7600gs also has pixel shader 3.0 support whereas my radeons are only 2.0 |

| 1201207 | 2011-05-11 05:29:00 | Way back when I was using a 6600GT I tried doing what your doing but at the end of the day your about at the limits of your hardware as is. Best bet would be to find a PCIe mobo and you'll get a much better card still on the cheap. | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1201208 | 2011-05-11 05:31:00 | I only need a video card to replace my radeon 9600/x1050 as its crapping out on me. and my old radeon is only 128mb and thats slowly dieing too. For what i do on my pc, the vid cards i found on trade me are more than good enough. |
