System is :-

Xp 2100 +
9700 Pro
512 DDR 2100
Asus A7A266

3DMark 2001 SE score is 11,881...

F1 2002 graphical problems was cured by going backwards to the 2056
drivers,having tried the 7.77 's , 7.79 's ,2068/2069 or whatever..not up to
these drivers yet :) The 3D Config in F1 2002 shows 56.4 at 1280 x 960 x 32
(2 x AA)

Nascar 2002 at 1600 x 1200 x 32  (2 x AA) and Full graphic settings ingame
shows 45fps at start of race(back of grid) and upto 90fps in race when open
track.

Only problem i have now is that for some weird reason the two mods i have in
F1 2002 ,the Alfa mod and the BMW mod don't work anymore.I click the
shortcut and it goes straight into F1 2002.Really hope i can sort this one
as i love the Alfa mod to bits.

Still learning about this Ati though....so many chufffin settings within the
control panel....!!

For some reason switching drivers screws up the mods to F1. I think it has
something to do with the rerunning the 3d config program. I'm sure there is
an easier way around it, but in the worse case you could just reinstall the
mod. That's what I did with mine and it worked.

Rerun the 3Dconfig and copy the lines from the config.ini from CPURATING
down, into the mod ini files.

I just got my upgrade parts (motherboard, cpu, ram, soundcard and 9700
Pro), but I'm sicker than a dog right now and the stuff is just sitting
in the corner... :(

[snip]

Not sure about F12002 but in F12001 you just open up the "config.ini" file,
copy the whole "VIDEOGUID=..." line, and paste it over the same line in you
mod's "???.ini" file. Might be something similar for F12002.

  You should 'probably' go just a little further and duplicate the entire
2nd portion of the the config ini.  Make sure all the various options match.
Everything below:
gridsize =  22
all the lines below that should match up...even if the vidmemory is
close...match em up so all the little variables are perfect.

Yeah, your probably right. Just to be safe the other lines might as well be
copied.

I figured no harware changes were made and most likely he'd be running the
same resolution and colour depth. For simplicity's sake I just suggested the
single line.
