Your reply awesome. And by awesome I mean totally sweet. I like Clear-type (and I'm a writer who stares at the screen all day.) Why do people hate it so much?

I've only played a little bit of FarCry, but the fact that you can drive down a hill firing missles from a truck, then leap off that truck, sending it flying into a mass of enemies... that's a good time.

Thanks. I'll print out your suggestions and follow them. I think I'm going to wait until the new motherboard driver is released (it's in beta right now) but then I'll do it.

Thanks for the link, I'll install them after this post. No, I guess I didn't really know the difference. I mistakenly assumed that the Bios controlled all of the board's functions. Reflecting on the word 'drivers' however...makes me realize the error of my noob ways.

Oh right. I'm using the A8V1008 drivers (latest non-beta from Asus.) I didn't see many of the cache options mentioned here. Is that what you're asking? I think he's asking if you loaded the AGP drivers from the Asus CD. I assume you did because you loaded the Marvel Lan driver to get your...

I'll look for those options and try it out. Disable the mobo cache you say?

Ok I'll try it

I'm guessing maybe 12FPS. It's pretty choppy.

Makes sense. I suppose I can choose to be depressed or just get over it. Things aren't how they used to be I suppose.

I'l try to OC it. Especially since I bought an NVSilencer and some AS5 for that purpose. I eventually went with an EVGA card, but I read that people have OCed it pretty well, at least to 400/1100, which is what I'm going for (but thanks for remembering my question :)) On a side note - the...
