RE: NOBODY having problems with ATI beta drivers?

You know, that issue annoys me to no end. See here, I've got an P4u800-X Asus
MB, 1.5 GB RAM and Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9600 Pro card with 256 M memory -
and Vista just refused to install it! I got code 43 and no Aero + basic
resolutions. No help from Microsoft, ATI drivers are useless and no one can
offer a clear answer - is it video card? Is it motherboard? Is it my
hyper-threading Prescott P4 3Hz CPU?

Why are you using beta drivers, when the regular drivers are available for
download for Vista x86 and x64?

I used both those cards with no problem in Vista x86, but have since
switched to nvidia. Better colour rendition.
