I am using an ATI Rage Pro without any problems whatsoever on Dolphin, either using the Utah driver (which is automatically detected) or the Rage Pro driver, both in their default setups. Therefore I doubt it is the video cards or the drivers per se but something else which is being exhibited through the video itself. Flaky memory for one. A cranky motherboard is another. What about heat, I remember having a Commodore 64 (way back then) and it would work perfectly until about two hours when it would suddenly crash. I would wait a while, worked okay, then crash again. It was hit by a power spike. Well that is my two cents, gabriel
