SharkyExtreme has one of the first looks at the new 32mb version of the ATI Radeon cards. Been meaning to try one of those out, they look pretty smoove. He also has quick interview with ATI to boot.

the 64MB has me tempted, but I've heard bad things about Radeon and Win2k (and the Asus K7V/VIA KX133)

  I'm planning on buying the 64MB card next week, and I have an Abit KA7 board with the KX133 chipset. While I don't know if ATI has resolved the problems or not, there is a workaround according to AnandTech. When you install the drivers, uncheck the box to upgrade the GART drivers. Also, don't change your BIOS to run in AGP 4x mode (keep it in 2x), as this will supposedly prevent Windows from loading. I can't tell the difference between 4x and 2x anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.
