- Sean, you keep saying that your Gateway w/ ATI GUP crashes Windows
- every ten minutes. Exactly what applications are crashing?
- I've been running a machine with the Micronics motherboard and ATI GUP
- VLB with 2MB VRAM for several hours a day without a hitch. I'm using
- the Mach 32 drivers in 1024x768 mode at both 256 and hi-color. The only
- problems I've had are some very minor palette problems with a high-end
- rendering and animation package that was already known to have problems
- running in hi-color. That app crashed often with the first version
- (1.0) of ATI drivers, but the Build 50 drivers are very stable.
- BTW my board has 2MB VRAM and the 68830 DAC, if that matters.
