My new rig is a DOG!

Hmmm, the VT6X4 doesn't look so hot after all. Just looked at a review over at gamepc.com and it looks like the Asus P3V4X is the board to get. I need to quit being so cheap.

My new rig is a DOG!

I believe all the advice and input has been useful. I did install the 4in1 (good or bad) then the new agp 4.03 driver on top of the old. I got a 65% increase just by doing that (55 to 85 fps at 840MHz). Not great but much better. Since I just received this board a couple of days ago, I'm...

I went to their site and the recommended the 4in1's then the 4.03 AGP. What's the deal with the 4in1's? Since I know nothing about those drivers, I will take your advice and only update the AGP drivers to 4.03.

After re-reading the post about the VIA 4-in-1 driver, I realized you are talking about what came on the CD with my MB. I will need to do that when I get home. I hope that helps.

My new rig is a DOG!

If it were a software problem, how would you recommend I proceed? When you say software problem, I'm assuming you're talking about drivers. As far as I know, I have the latest for every piece of equipment, with the possible exception of DirectX. I have 7 and I think I read someone saying...

I don't know what the 4-in-1 driver is. Could you be more specific in case I can't find anything about it?

I hadn't planned on buying a new card...I'm hoping there are improvements I can make without doing that.

My new rig is a DOG!

I'm using the latest Detonator drivers (I don't recall the number). I installed DirectX 7 with Q3 and I tried the 1.16 and 1.17 patches. I have not tried other games, I can install Q2 and try massive and crusher plus I have UnrealTournament and Tribes but I've never run benchmarks with them...
