anybody wanna trade in their server for my VIA C3 laptop? :D I'll only take an exchange with a server scoring more than 700.000 in ubench :D no, really, this result is pretty impressive. Is this Core2 Duo? On the other hand, maybe someone can help me with an advice for an ATi card. It's a Radeon 9700 Pro from Sapphire. It worked ok for years, 2 days ago i shut down my PC in the evening, and in the morning while booting I get screen corruption in the POST screen (coloured lines and squares). I boot windows to see if this happens there too, and I can't recognize anything on the desktop because of the colour artifacts. Even the BIOS screen is garbage. This card has a massive Zalman cooler on it and should not have any heat issues, as I never use it for gaming or so, only for video production. Tried to set AGP voltage lower and higher with 0.1V, checked AGP speed (66MHz), power cable for the card (has additionl power), nothing helps, all seems ok. Changed it for a Radeon 7000VE I had around, and this one gives me corruption also in POST screen, but under Windows it's clear. Didn't test this one on BSD, but overlay (while watching videos) also gives me screen corruption. Ran memtest86, my RAM is ok, tried the 9700Pro on another motherboard (P4 on a MSI mobo, SIS chipset) that I know to work well, in a new PC (thought maybe my PSU dies), and I still get the artefacts... Now I am a bit afraid to put a new card in on my motherboard, could it be that it destroys my video cards? As it is unlikely that both Radeons (9700Pro and 7000VE) have the same problem, suddenly... The second card was known to work ok. ATi is of no use, they wanna RMA it... Thought that maybe someone here has any ideas, beside flashing my video cards' BIOS (last hope, but I don't think it helps anyway, as this card has "died" suddenly, without me doing anything, as it seems). thanks, ANdrei PS: I just found my old Nokia Communicator 9110i, that has a 80486 AMD in it... now that would be smtg for ubench, could I run it on that one :) http://students.oamk.fi/~t6ruan00/ ------ Never argue with an idiot.
