Looks like BEWRARE dude does not know how to configure his computer,my advise is to flash the newest bios to your motherboard.
You certainly get the best hardware from VISIONTEK. The performance metrics on the adapter is amazing. I have not found any other adpater that can provide the 3D rendering performance found on the 9800 Pro.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, top-notch graphics performance and rendering, December 3, 2003

I've been a consistent ATI graphics card user from "way back", since the old ISA based VGA Wonder and Graphics Ultra Pro days, circa 1988. ATI has never let me down in reliability, compatibility, and sheer performance. ATI's video chipsets always seem to be the best and most stable performers on the market. I purchased the Radeon 9800 Pro card as a replacement to a newly purchased Radeon 9700 Pro, which is now running top notch in my wife's Athlon 64 3200+ machine. The Radeon 9800 Pro's AGP 8x interface and Direct 9.0 compatibility makes this graphics card a top-notch graphics and gaming performer. The card has its own power plug instead of drawing power from the AGP slot, the first such setup I've seen. When I saw that, I knew I was on to something special in performance. The graphics board is an outstanding performer and the drivers seem compatible with all my software under Win 2000. MPEGS, streaming video, web browsing, scanning and modifying JPEGS, and games just seem to fly around the screen. I plan to buy a 3-D game soon and check out that aspect of the card's performance. I did have some problems loading ATI's Linux Redhat drivers for the card. Redhat natively sees the card as something entirely different (VESA graphics card, 128 Mb). But the card works just fine in Linux, in spite of not having dedicated drivers, so it's not a big deal to me right now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast and Fury, November 6, 2003

I bought this card and I went from a TI4200 with a 3dmark2k3 score of 1600, to this card and now score 5300+. I can run EVERY game I own at 1280x1024 32bit all options at max at 60+ frames. Some can even run at 1600x1200 like vice city. I have not overclocked at all. Heck at the resolutions and speed I'm at now I don't see any point.
The image quality is outstanding and the games I run on it fly.
Forget the other comapanies and pick this ATI VisionTek Xtasy 9800 PRO card up and you will be very happy, I know that I am.
