Hi

Let me explain. Got a Core Duo system with X1900 crossfire graphics and 4gb RAM which I cannot get to run in crossfire mode in Windows XP x64. I have tried several different versions of the Cat drivers and it always fails to initialise driver if I try and run any any 3DMark version.

I am therefore thinking of going back to 32bit Windows XP Pro, but as it is the SP2 version it cannot see all 4gb of RAM.

What would you do? My feeling at the moment is to remove two of the 1gb sticks and install 32 bit Windows. I will hold onto the extra RAM with a view to upgrading to Vista after it has matured a bit.

Thoughts?
