- I recently received a Gatway 2000 DX2-66MHz system with their version of
- the ATI Ultra Pro video cards. It was my understanding that the ATI UP
- would run 1280x1024 @ 60Hz NI, but after trying to get it to go interlaced
- (running the setup program, running the test programs) I finally called ATI.
- They said that the version of the card that I have does not go that hi, and
- that I would have to upgrade to a new (or additional? that was not clear)
- RAMDAC to get that performance. I called Gateway tech support and they
- said that they did not have the upgrade available, and that I would have
- to pay for it.
-
- Has anyone else with the ATI UP, from Gateway or otherwise, run it at
- 1280x1024 at 60Hz NI? Is Gateway selling a stripped down card? Was
- I expecting too much to be getting the product with specs that have been
- advertised elsewhere? Has anyone bought the Nanao 550i upgrade and run
- it at 1280x1024 @ 60Hz? Does any one have any info on this at all? :-)
-
- After buying a Mag MX17F so that I can do the above mentioned resolution,
- I am bit dissapointed right now. (I still have a fiew calls to make to
- my sales rep, but I am not optimistic.)
