I'd like to know the answer to this as well, using a 9700 np at the moment

You again? It must be truly lonely to be you!

As everybody nowadays know, not only did the 9700 serie does DX9 ..it
also does it better then most of the FX series :-)
 
Oops. Sorry guys. I just realised i've been talking bollocks about the
capabilities of the 9700 all this time. LOL!

Once again, sorry people. I have successfully extracted my head from my arse
and stopped overclocking my brain cell.

Its a shame it has taken you about a year of people telling you that
you were wrong before you bothered to work out why.

frustrating it was to keep having to correct you when you would keep
posting that. :)
