PowerColor ATI HD 4850

I have been using this 512mb DDR3 graphics card for over 2 months and I guess I should really put up a review here.

Card performance is good but the drivers are bad.

I am using this on VISTA 32 so I am not sure if XP users have problem with this card. The most common problems I get are freeze screen and the BSOD. Unfortunately, despite upgrading drivers, the current Catalyst Control Center is v8.9, the same problem occurs everyday.

I don't know why this has to happen since the card is real good BUT the drivers cannot make it. The card gets heated pretty easily. But a bigger fan could solve this.
