[CUBE] How Do We Flash 32MB TwinView PC Radeon 7000 So They Work In Cubes

[Laurie A Duncan]

Kunga, no one is obligated to help you. If you don't know how to flash the
ROM on a video card, that's YOUR problem, not anyone else's. It really is a
no-brainer, and maybe if you don't understand how to flash a card, you
really shouldn't be doing it in the first place! Maybe you should spend some
time learning how to use GOOGLE instead if insisting that other people just
give you the answers. Honestly, the way you treat people that may know more
than you do, it's a wonder that anyone is ever willing to help you with
anything. Try asking politely and taking your chances instead of verbally
assaulting people in order to get help and attention. If you do a little bit
of the work yourself (a simple search engine query), people might be able to
assist you the rest of the way.
