If you are having problems w/your 9700 please take a look

We're taking a vote at Rage3D to find out which chipset users with problems tend to use.

well of course there's gana be more people with via boards reporting problems simply because more people have them. I know it's in good faith but ideally you should have a poll to try and find the percent of people with diffrent chipsets before going :o omfg via blows without relizing the proportion of users that own a certain chipset board. Yah... ;)

BTW, I've had my 9700 working on a SiS 735 Chipset and now on a VIA KT266a. :)

That's a good suggestion actually... perhaps a poll should be started in the off-topic, hardware, or general Radeon forums asking simply for what chipset people are using. Compare that to the "chipset w/ problems" poll to get useful results.
