That's why I've never owned a system with a VIA chipset. They have too many problems. > On Sat, 31 May 2003 11:05:04 -0400 > > "Brett I. Holcomb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Glad to know it's not just me and my card is about normal! > > > > I have an Asus A7M266-D board with the AMD chipset

Yes, it has a fan. However, I'm not a fan of overclocking anything. I may try it later when I have time. Right now I'm troubleshooting a RAID problem that is very intermittant and trying to get a backup system going so if I loose the RAID again I can recover without the install! > On Saturd

Thanks, Ernie. I'm running 1024x768. It's good to know that the drop is normal. I guess Gears doesn't like full maximized windows. I'm not going to mess with overclocking. > On Saturday 31 May 2003 04:35 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > On Fri, 30 May 2003 22:13:42 -0400 > > > > "Brett I. Ho

Glad to know it's not just me and my card is about normal! I have an Asus A7M266-D board with the AMD chipset on it. I've run AGPGART and had no trouble and am now running Nvidia's AGP and so far haven't had any trouble. > On Fri, 30 May 2003 22:13:42 -0400 > > "Brett I. Holcomb" <[EMAIL PROTE

Strange things here. I rebuilt the system (my RAID went bad) and now without trying - I did the same as before: merged nvidia drivers, glx - I get around 3200 FPS from a Geforce3 Card with 64 meg of memory. update-opengl didn't make any difference. I get around 24000 fps if I switch to a con
