Hello Dieter, I've got a 3rd party 8500LE-card, and it works just fine. However: this card is only officially by FIC, but is very identical to the original ATi one. The only differences are little FIC-Stickers covering all ATi-Logos on the PCB. There's not even a FIC-string in the BIOS-info (and it's got 3.6 ns Ram *g*). I guess your mileage with other brands will vary, but flashing the BIOS might work. > > Thanks, > Dieter > [...] ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
