    Anything from ATI with the word Catalyst in its title. I downloaded some 3D eccelerator from the ATI website. Tottaly messed up my PC, i had to do a system restor. I lost all my music (120GB) all my films (246GB) all my work, everything. AVOID!!

    Probably just a case of bad luck, man.

    Next time I'd recommend backing up all of your data on an external harddrive.

    I got some beta nvidia drivers, installed them. They screwed up my PC & I had to re-format. Know what it feels like!
