    Quickie: 'What mobo for a Duron?' and a question on GByte Ati cards

    many thanks for the reply! I'm glad to hear that gigabyte ati cards are good, but what interests me the most is whether the tv-out chip is the same as in ati cards (the rage theater I think it's called). thing is that I want to use the pc for watching dvd-s on a TV and I heard that ati's cards...

    Quickie: 'What mobo for a Duron?' and a question on GByte Ati cards

    about the Iwill I haven't seen any Iwill boards around here - I'm not in the US. as for a kt266 chipset mobo.. I don't know about via, haven't really used them. how are they stability wise? are there many hassles to go through to bring a via system on par with intel stability? no one mentioned...

    Quickie: 'What mobo for a Duron?' and a question on GByte Ati cards

    So what's a cool cheap mobo for the duron? That ecs k7s5a or what-was-its-name with the sis735 chipset still a good mobo? I don't want to spend mucho dinero on a new box, and my old celeron533/bx is becoming quite outdated so I thought going with a duron now and maybe further down the road...

    P3-1GHz w/ 512 RAM, Win2Kpro feels slow in regular Windows tasks Help me pls!

    << Im telling you it is not the Vanta! I have a vanta at work and the thing works great! I would have believed that the Intel 815 int video is the culprit, but not an external vid card! >> cool, can you try setting your windows to 1280x1024@32bit/85Hz (dunno if the Hz makes any difference)...

    P3-1GHz w/ 512 RAM, Win2Kpro feels slow in regular Windows tasks Help me pls!

    it already got service pack 2. udma enabled. I still think it's the Vanta. I played with lower resolution/colordepth settings and found out that it performs much better in those compared to my current res. 1280x1024@32bit.. anyone know whether the Vanta is a 64bit bus? and can the video card...

    P3-1GHz w/ 512 RAM, Win2Kpro feels slow in regular Windows tasks Help me pls!

    << you can overclock the proc but cant install intel app accelerator? it makes a huge difference IMO and great increases performance of the IDE subsystem though my Northwood @ 2.4 ghz was never slow to begin with :) >> it was already overclocked :)

    P3-1GHz w/ 512 RAM, Win2Kpro feels slow in regular Windows tasks Help me pls!

    thanks for the input! UDMA is on for the HDD, no conflicts, installing intel app. accel. is hardly an option, I just wanted to get to the root of the problem and I think I figured it out.. my guess is the Vanta, as many already have mentioned. I tried 1024x768@32bit and large windows (with...

    P3-1GHz w/ 512 RAM, Win2Kpro feels slow in regular Windows tasks Help me pls!

    thanks for the reply :) so what are good, stable MS approved drivers for the vanta? are they the same as those for TNT2? i'll check on the UDMA setting but i doubt it's that.. the thing with the scrolling is mostly in IE 5.0 and Outlook Express 5.0
