      I've been using the betas for a while (u/g from the 4.9s). Is it worth changing?

          Not to hijack the thread, but does ATI have BIOS updates like Matrox does? I'm wondering if there are any updates for my 9700 Pro AIW

                ATI doesn't support flashing the BIOS on their cards, and at least with an 8500 if you flash the BIOS with USWC enabled you'll corrupt the BIOS. The only way to get a newer one is to find someone who has a card with a newer BIOS and use a flash utility to read it and hope it works on your card too. And since there's no information available to indicate what, if anything, is fixed in different BIOS's, there's probably no point to change unless you've read in a forum or something that people have verified that it's a BIOS problem. Over at Rage3D there's an article that shows that the performance of different 8500 BIOS's varies pretty significantly, but who knows what or why ATI did to change each BIOS.

                  Thank you all for your quick repsonses... I'll definately stop looking for a BIOS update for the 9700 Pro. I assumed that just like matrox, ATI had BIOS updates for their hardware.

                    They do release firmware updates for their Mac based graphic cards, so it's strange there aren't any PC firmware updates.
                    Main: Dual Xeon LV2.4Ghz@3.1Ghz | 3X21" | NVidia 6800 | 2Gb DDR | SCSI
                    Second: Dual PIII 1GHz | 21" Monitor | G200MMS + Quadro 2 Pro | 512MB ECC SDRAM | SCSI
                    Third: Apple G4 450Mhz | 21" Monitor | Radeon 8500 | 1,5Gb SDRAM | SCSI

                      Wierd, didn't know that KeiFront, but of course I don't use a Mac. I guess the PC versions must have either perfect BIOS's (ha) or perhaps they feel there's no way to tell driver bugs apart from BIOS ones?

                        To answer my own question, aparently there are more bug fixes.

                          Well, wow, look at some of the fixes though. No wonder they need to release new ones.

                          Fixed a bug where ADVANCED settings were not saved to NVRAM on beige G3 (and earlier systems)
                          Fixed a bug where a dead cursor may appear after Detect Displays
                          Monochrome modes are no longer supported
                          Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.
