WIn XP cant post

Works fine here. Must be PEBCAK.

Agreed.   :-D

Though, potentially, if something was installed on IE, such that cookies were disabled, it could cause the problem.  Fact is, we really don't have enough information.

   I seriously think many crashes are unfairly blamed on Windows when drivers are the culprit (nVidia comes to mind. Their newest drivers SUCK!)

Which version?

I was kind of wondering the same thing.  I'm running the couple month-old 56.64's, and they've been nothing but rock solid on a GeForce 4Ti 4200 OC'd to almost 4600 speeds.  ;-)

The GeForce FX series sometimes mis-reports RAM speed, as for some reason the program reports/doesn't report the DDR'd rate.  Probably what happened.....  (I'm not sure I like the FX series...  I've stuck to my 4Ti.  Less headaches.  Might go to ATi next... But I've heard THOSE drivers are even worse than nVidia's, most of the time... and especially in Linux.  :-(  )

What's your method in detecting the GFX's cclk and mclk? Is it by driver’s "cool bits" features or by third party applications?

I was looking at 3rd party applications.  For instance, 3DMark03 seems to get quite confused by the clock rates.  Looking through the results page, there's no telling what cards report for their cclk and mclk...  

Now, I don't have a ton of experience with the FX series cards, and none with overclocking them.  The only one I have is a base FX5200 in my fiancee's Dell.  It runs solid on the 56.64 drivers, as well.  Now, there's no overclock going on there.  Didn't even install CoolBits -- to keep the relationship happy, I don't mess with her computer too much..  ;-)  

(on possibly switching to ATi)

News to me. I've been using the 4.5 Catalyst drivers for a while and I haven't had any problems

Well, that's reassuring.  At least I'd be able to play games.  ;-)  Do you run any Linux stuff?  What do you think of the Linux drivers?
