I got an 7200 and it gave me hell all the time. Might run Quake but sure won't

I *AM* using the dri drivers. Try using ViVo with that.

And glimpsing over to NV I care a lot about closed src drivers as they have
been reported to e stable and fast for months (apart from some glitches in the
very latest versions. Plus closed src is the only way to ensure the chip is
fully used. Why buy a board when I could have the same power for half the
price.
