I bought a GF3 ti 200 Visiontek card in December. Returned it because I thought it was bad. Actually was my new Abit motherboard causeing the problem. So lol. I had to replace my $180 KR7A-RAID motherboard with a $125 in less than 6 months but my PNY GF 4 4400 with the new Gigabyte motherboard is working perfectly with no more blue screen of deaths in XP! So you win some and you lose some. For those affected about this be glad you other compents work properly and are under warrently. :)
