Installation

As usual, installation on our Athlon based system went on (for the most part) without a hitch. The only problem that I encountered was the loss of AGP 2x due to the fact that my base Mainboard is a FIC SD11. The card seemed to have been stuck in AGP 1x mode, and nothing I could do would remedy the situation (and yes I did try the Nvidia registry hack). Oh well, my best guess is that FIC, AMD, or Nvidia will come up with a fix soon enough. Keep your figures crossed.

Drivers

The Leadtek drivers used for this review were based upon the 5.16 Nvidia reference drivers. The Drivers (build 103) have support for the much hyped Full Scene Anti-Aliasing (FSAA), though only OpenGL was supported. Leadtek also includes the D3D and OpenGL tweaking panel that we have come to expect from all newer graphics cards. Another nice addition was Leadtek's inclusion of a core/memory overclocking utility dubbed speed runner.
