Video Card: ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Review :: Setup

I used the latest Athlon CPU based system to hit this universe using the new 2600+ from AMD which is quite a fast chip and has the performance of about the P4 2.53GHz in most 3D test results.

The drivers were installed of the included CD and no new drivers are available online as of yet. The card had no problem installing or running the tests and software used in this review.
