    Ok, so i'm big into gaming so i always want the best drivers i can. I install the Offical catalyst using Mobility Modder. If not I'll use Omega Drivers for sure. Well, about a month ago my screen started blanking out and getting vertical lines in it. After sending it in to averatec to get it fixed (they actually did a good job...although the webpage never got updated with my RMA so i called every day) and i recieved it back with a new motherboard. Now, a month later, I've sent it back AGAIN for the SAME PROBLEM! I am wondering, after thinking on my own, do you think the mobility modder is doing this since it happened twice, or is it really two bad motherboards with bad video cards for me twice in a row?! Does anyone else use mobility modder?
    Secondly, I went to the SIS websight to get the newest AGP drivers. Installed them and the AGP speed will now read a 0x at all times. Anyone else with this issue?
    THanks

    I went back to Omega drivers after trying the modder for ati drivers, it didnt do what I needed. I now use omega with Powerstrip (great program, free trial, 30$ to buy) for dual monitor support. More than likely you have a defective connection between the mother and the screen or maybe they put your defective ati video card back on the new mother?

    The video card is sodered to the motherboard so i know they didn't replace it with the first bad one. I guess I'm going to stick to the Omega Drivers. I've never used powerstrip before, I guess it's time i did.
    Anyone with the new AGP drivers working at 8x?

    I've been using the catylst drivers done with mobility modder and they have been great. I've tried the omega drivers twice and haven't been impressed on my 6130HS-20.
