NVidia is to "Fischer Price" for me.
ATI has some known settings problems but when u get the right settings they work great!
ATI Radeon 8900 PRO is my choice.
Highly recommend using the Ati CCC utility, makes setting up your displays really simple with quick wizard style settings. Less of a headace than the ati control panel (which it replaces)
You need to install microsoft .net framework to run it, I did and everythings peachy.
I have some troubles with my Saphire Radeon 9600XT 128MB, during the projection (after 2 hours) my resolume 2.3 get freezed a i can do nothing...
have anybody the same problem???
is it possible that problem is in my WinXP SP2???
Install latest drivers (AFTER uninstalling old ones). The ATi ones are very good now, although if you still have problems try the Omega drivers.
Uninstall/reinstall resolume is recomended after new drivers - sometimes hangs on startup I find if you dont plus it's very quick to do anyway.
Specific problems..
Does resolume alone freeze, or is it your whole machine? If it's the whole machine, can you monitor your CPU temp? Sounds like overheating perhaps.
I have SP2 on my machine (it was an accident) and to be honest resolume runs fine (turn all the bells and whistles like firewall, virus monitor off remember). What knocks it sometimes (I think) is automatic updates, which occasionally have required me to reinstall everything as above to get working again.
i've been using like 5 NVIDIA cards over the last years, and i like them all... i prefere the drivers with good and clear settings over the "bubblegum" style ati settings... never had any trouble with nvidia also works perfect with resolume, all works right away.
