    No dumbass! You said S60 was a "Diamond Radeon 7000 card". That's not the same as a "Radeon 7000 card".

    Cute. Real cute. Can you say dense? Like I've got time to be trying out every Radeon 7000 card on the market.

    Talk about dense!! You don't need to "try every Radeon 7000 on the market". Just don't try, "Herucles Radeon 7000", "Best Radeon 7000", "HIS Radeon 7000", "Sapphire Radeon 7000", etc. You were fortunate that your Diamond Radeon 7000 worked with your other Radeon... many do not and the consequences can be as bad as requiring the user to reinstall the OS from scratch.

    Don't use anything that's " ______ Radeon" (all of those are 3rd-party cards... and they all they change the original Radeon hardware/driver... and that's the problem). Just use plain old genuine "ATI Radeon 7000", with no other maker's name in it.

    That's me. Mr. Lucky. I must have been blessed to have gotten the only working non-ATI Radeon 7000 card. And it was damn cheap too.
