*** IMPORTANT FASTWRITES UPDATE *** An important info has come to my attention, if you have a Radeon 9600 Pro/NP/XT card, regardless of the manufacturer, you MUST enable Fastwrites to make it work properly, if not, you may experience crashes and lockups! (This is only a temporary fix until ATI resolves the problem) OR you can lower the Hardware Acceleration slider one notch in the Windows display options.
