Found Bug : ATi Radeon 9600 256mb (Saphire)

[Gordy 0]

Hey Gordy, SP2 is compatible with most software on the market. Like its predecessor its fairly stable, it crashes about as often as OS 10.3.5 on a G5 which is fairly rare. The two release candidates I tested DID have problems, most notably firewire support was non-existant, but those were fixed with the final release. Unitl I put the Radeon in my system everything worked fine with SP2. But I got tired of the Nvidia MX440 and wanted better graphics. OFP and Halo were the only two games I had that had problems with the COMBINATION of the 9600XT,SP2, and DX9.0c. I have had no problems with any application software, be it Office, Photoshop, Illustrator, SPSS, plus all the games I listed earlier, etc. with either video card and SP2. Bungie released a new binkw32.dll file for Halo and it looks awesome now.

SP2 example of flawless software:

Firewall configuration troubleshooting is interesting, but slightly off topic here

SP2 is not only security based. Its complexity may not only influence web based software but other 3-year old software. On list of vendors that should check their soft/hardware compatibility is also ATI.

More than 90% of problems with PC are caused by Windows soft and its setup.

Well if you want to bitch about Windows, SP2 etc, go right ahead, you win. It's not going to help this problem. I'll go somewhere else to solve it.

You assumed right away that it is a card related problem and you stick to it. I am trying to help you, looking at every possible angle.

What has changed since the last OFP run. Only drivers?
