If you keep up with computers, I'm sure you're aware that ATI recently launched their next series of Radeon cards, the 5000 series. I was lucky enough (3am web surfing) to catch one in stock at newegg.com. $250 for the latest and greatest card isn't back and since I just purchased a Dell 2408WFP, my third 24", I needed something to power them all.

When the card arrived I uninstalled all the old drivers and shutdown the PC. After installing the new ASUS EAH5850 1GB the computer wouldn't POST. Come to find out I needed to flash the BIOS. Now the computer will POST but only after the CMOS is cleared. I have to clear the CMOS each time I want to boot. A little annoying, but I have a ticket in with ECS about the issue.
