Customer Reviews of ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB DDR PCI Video Card (100430284CCS)
Great for the price I have a Dell 2300 and installed it myself. If you have a built in on-board video card (intel graphics card) you have to disable it and uninstall the driver to get it to work.
People who did not like the Radeon 7000, did not know how to install it. Here is the down and dirty for the novice computer users.
BEFORE you do this next step, install the software that come with the Radeon 7000. Then you are ready to uninstall the old graphics card & driver.
Click Start:
Click Contol panel, then System Properties, then click on hardware. You will see "driver signing" and "device manager". Uninstall the intel driver & disable the Install graphics chip in these places. Then reboot your computer and plug your monitor into your new card.
The Graphics are great...
Radeon 7000 VE AGP
The issue surrounding ATI and its drivers seems to be getting worse, I used the 7000 running 98SE and get occasional 'twitches' and lockups, annoying but in general not too much of an issue. I recently 'upgraded' to XP and the problems really took off. The system won't run for more than a few minutes before it locks (monitor drops to standby, but system appears to still be running) sometimes its resets itself and other times just stops....... Windows XP has a useful feature that identifies system problems for you, and every time it is due to the ATI driver. I have downloaded and installed every available driver I can find, to no avail. I updated the motherboard drivers even flashed my bios, still no joy.
It seems that the card itself is OK but the drivers are rubbish. If you get it to work then you are lucky, the vast majority seem to have problems. Unfortunately most people don't realise what is causing the trouble.
I say simply this, until ATI improve their drivers, the radeon series of graphics cards is an area to avoid. I base this statement on the fact that I replaced the card with a similar spec version from Nvidia (geforce mmx400 64mb) and it runs perfectly with no more lockups !!!
I am not alone in this opinion of ATI ... go see bulletin boards all over the internet !!!
Pavilion Issue
The problem is not HP's fault. I have a Pavilion XG833 and the real problem, as a few of you have stated, is the onboard graphics. The onboard graphics are by Intel. I have an intel i80 chipset, which on intel's website it says you cannot update the graphics AT ALL... NO CARDS EITHER. However, if you have an i80e chipset you may disable the graphics driver and install the Radeon 7000. So basically, if you have an i80 chipset you're screwed.
