Small Update too :

I did a clean install of windows 2000 , fully pached to SP4 (and all the "crap" in between, including .Net and a few other ) , and with the usual stuff installed (psp, office , acad , etc) . No problems whatsoever with the 3.4 catalyst.

Installed the 3.6, hoping the lack of SP4 was the reason for the instability on the previous install (Sp2) , but no, it has the exact same simptoms. I'm assuming it's the drivers , and reversed to the 3.4 (best stability yet).

Found another interesting bug with ASE (All Seeing Eye). Trying to resfresh some (only happens with a few) Enemy Territory servers causes windows 2000 to stop responding , but not always. It's almost like he received a DoS. Doesnt happen with other games (q1, q3 , UT , UT2k3, Steam and HL based mods - NS, CS, TFC , or RTCW itself).

Never happend with my GeForce, and i played a bit of ET with her. So, again, i'm assuming its something with the ATi drivers, which is plain weird.

@Airspirit

I've tested with the default settings, and OC settings.

I've OC'ed my 1700+ , and the 2x256mb kingston (its value ram, but very good) to very agressive timing (2-2-2-5 at 2,7v) and them back to the default, and the same with my 9700 (default and OC - 340/310) , and had always the same problems with stability with the 3.6 installed.

I've also tested the DNA drivers, and the Omega , all based on the 3.6, and had the exact same stability issues.

Score another one for nVidia.
