That's pretty good for onboard video. The board I am currently running has onboard too, but its shared memory, with jitters in the 2 millisecond and up range.

One of the neighbors gave me most of an old compaq today, with a much better psu, a full .2 volts higher, which I think is the main problem with mine. If I can shovel my way to the shop tomorrow (its coming down decent here, about 3" so far), that theory will be tested. If that's not it, then I think I'll get 2 of those, one for the mill & one for the lathe. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
