    But that doesn't mean you should do it if you don't want to format it.

    If you do, does it actually work? And is it just like put and remove? (Would be very easier than the "software" format!)

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    I've had no issues with Leadtek Winfast GF 7600 GT (AGP version.) Performance increased very significantly compared to my old Radeon 9800 Pro; for example in Company of Heroes framerates almost doubled, with somewhat higher graphic settings, when compared to the Radeon. I'm still using Forceware 91.47, having not felt the need to upgrade since CoH, DoW, Oblivion, Brothers in Arms:EiB and Guild Wars all run without issues. Other new(ish) games played on the system include KoToR 2, Prey (= Quake engine), Fear and Star Trek: Legacy, and they functioned without problem.

    Other specs: Athlon XP 3000+, 1 gig PC3200 memory, SB Live! (the ancient version.)

    PS. Don't touch ST:L, it's a terrible game. What a waste of money.

    The magnet thing really isn't a good idea. I wouldn't recommend actually trying it.

    Neither would I, only maybe with an old, replaceable HDD or so but not with one you still plan to use later.

    I've had to remove the card. My keyboard acted like it wasn't plugged in. When I unplugged it from the back of the PC and plugged it back in again the PC refused to boot. It started to a black screen, beeped many times and then reset, an error I'm familiar with; I encountered it when I was installing my new hard drives. Means my system is so badly mashed it can't begin to start up. I had to remove the 7600gt and put my old radeon 9800 pro back in to get it to start. Again, I had to do this when installing my hard drives.

    I'll be in contact with Overclockers first thing tomorrow about a return.


    Crandaeolon, that's the exact card I have - the Leadtec Winfast AGP version. And ditto the SB Live!

    BKS, I didn't get to try it I recieved your PM as I came back online from removing the nvidia card.
