Rad9800 with SWG?

[hawks5999]

Does anybody have a testimonial of their usage of the 9800 with Star Wars Galaxies?
And more specifically, a 9800 np bios flashed to a Pro? I'm going to be building
a machine with this card configuration for the sole purpose of playing a more
immersive Star Wars Galaxies.

Thanks in advance.

The only thing I have to say about playing SWG with 9800 pro (non flashed)
is it is AWESOME. I upgraded from a Geforce 4 ti 4200 se and I have to say,
the 9800 pro was well worth the money I paid just for this game.
I have been reading threads in the SWG forums about people having crash
problems and graphic problems with other ati cards (ie: 9000, 9500, 9700)
but haven't heard of anyone having problems with the 9800 pro. I know I
haven't had not one problem.
What I did is installed the catalyst drivers that came on the CD with the
9800 pro, then downloaded the newer catalyst drivers from ATI's web site and
installed them. I'm not sure if that made a difference but it works.

I have a Radeon 9700 Pro and it works like a charm with Catalyst 3.4
drivers. 3.5 stutters a bit, but 3.4 are fine. No crash problems whatsoever.
This game Rocks!
