    I just spoke with the individual who sold the 9700 Pro card to me. He tells me that this card was an RMA replacement for a retail ATI Radeon 9700 Pro that was sent in to ATI Warranty Services.

    Looks like I'll be able to take this up with ATI Warranty Services. :)

    Did you recently update to SP2?

    I have got the same card as you and recently upgraded to SP2

    VGA startup was ok but i got the same funny screen as you did. I bought a new 9800 SE and what happened the same funny screen.

    I read about SP2 and SP2 does not handle some memory places anymore due to stability roblems i think that this card together with the motherboard gives memory problems.

    After 1 week of installing upgrading new drivers etc i did a motherboard flash (bios) and everything is working A OK now.

    MSI KT4 V motherboard

    I have not tried my old card but in my opinion this will work.
