Is there any problem mixing an Nvidia and ATI card on the same system and installing both sets of drivers? I am hesitant to install the drivers for the 7300 in my system since I know at one point they didn't play well with ATIs driver package. Is this still the case?

As a side note, can anyone tell me if those CD scratch removers work very well. I managed to scratch up my Winter assault CD just enough to cause problems. They are not very deep but I am getting some read errors and was hoping that it is fixable.

It really depends on the application.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with it.

Mixing vendor types is a bad idea in general.

The CD scratch removers work ok, but if you don't get a motorized one they can be very finicky.

Basically, the manual ones have to be spun fairly fast, or else it turns from a "scratch remover" into a "scuff maker"

I got one of the Motorized ones yesterday, it worked on one CD but not the other.

Anyone have the .Cab file from the second CD of Winder assault?

If you've already purchased the game it is quite legal for you to download it via torrents for backup purposes.
