I have the same graphics card as you, except on a different setup. What drivers are you using for it? I found the ones on the CD that came with the card weren't all that good - I kept getting stuck thread crashes in Windows and stuttering in games like SOF2.

Try the latest Catalyst drivers (3.0? 3.1?) or Omegadrivers (I forgot what the current version is), but be sure to completely and utterly uninstall the old drivers first...

I have a recommendation for you and that is disable AGP Fastwrites and even ATI recommend it. I also have a Radeon 9700 and it makes the card a whole lot more stable
