I've read in other newsgroups that ATI tried to overclock the processor too much, and some of them got fried. Mine got so hot, I couldn't touch the heatsink. I'm using 3.7 on an ATI Radeon 7500 All in Wonder on a Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 MB with a 3000+ Barton (333 Mhz) and 1 gig of ddr 2700, and Seagate 80 Gig SATA, and an 80 gig raid 0+1 set up (four 40 gig WD drives). Sound card is a Terratec DMX 6 Fire. With all hardware acceleration on, and all graphics settings turned up to highest levels, all of my games, especially URT 2003, rock.
