FIC or HIS for a 9600Pro?
 

Hey all!

Can't find a good answer on Google,so...

If you were going to by a Radeon 9600Pro AGP card with 128meg of memory and
you had to choose between an HIS card and a FIC card - prices are the same -
which would you choose?

Thx!

I bought the HIS 9600 Pro and have had nothing but trouble.
That's why I'm here looking in the newsgroup.
I tried to contact HIS by email to see if this was my setup or the card but
they don't reply. So I can not reccomend their customer service.

Below is a listing of my crashes but I'm still not sure of the problem.
I'm geussing it's the card due to the problems only appearing after I
installed it and I'm hoping there is a genius amongst you how can interpret
the windows error reports below.
I have reformatted due to another problem and reloaded everthing and the
problem is still there.
The thing I notice is they all fault with the last part of the address being
the same. ie..

I have the lastest VIA Drivers & the lastest ATI Drivers

This is supposed to be a DDOS attack program/Spyware/Trojan, etc... If you
have this, you may find that it's a virus or something causing issues. Try
AdAware or something similar.

www.ati.com

$299

Ironically, they have both the pro and non pro versions listed for the same
price. Wonder if they have a surplus of pros and are, also, hoping to
string in some suckers to buy the non pro for the same price....or maybe
it's a typo.

BestBuy and CrapUSA both have them on the shelf for $299 plus tax.
