Replace Ti4200 with ATI 9800 Pro

Looks like you've thought it through. I"m not familiar with the driver
cleaner you're talking about, but others have had good luck with Detonator
Destroyer. It is important to scrub out all those nasty leftovers.

When the new card is detected on reboot, don't let Windows install the
drivers. Cancel out of the wizard and run the ATI driver setup applets. Go
ahead and use Cat 3.9, you'll need the CD only if you want to install the
updated ATI DVD player, which requires the original CD for verification.

I usually do the drivers and control panel first, reboot, and then the MMC
if you want it. (The DVD player is excellent, the rest is average.)

You may want to reinstall the motherboard's AGP drivers and/or DX9 to synch
everything up. It's not necessary, but good insurance.

After that it's simply a matter of configuring everything to suit your
preferences. There is a lot of info at www.rage3d.com, including plenty of
tweaking and troubleshooting help in the forums.

Hello,

Currently have a Ti4200 in an Asus A7N8X v2.00.(Nvidia Ultra 400),
Windows XP Pro.

I assume I go about the install this way,...

1. Uninstall Nvidia drivers, Reboot.

2. Run Driver Cleaner+Cab Cleaner?
I never used that, is it a must?

3. Shut down, pull ti4200, install ATI card.

4. Install ATI v3.9 drivers?
Is there anything on the ATI CD that I must or must not install?

5. I read something about the GART driver, when I uninstall the Ti4200
drivers does it remove that too, if so how do I fix that?

Thanks for any tips,links, help, I've had this PC for 6 months and it
has been flawless, I'd like it to stay that way.

Regards,
Ed G.
