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.

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 want to thank everyone for their help. I will experiment tonight and let you know how it goes in case someone else can benefit from this in the future.

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.

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.

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...

I recently added a new MB+CPU to my system giving me the following setup: P3 700E (100MHz) Abit VA6 128MB PC100 SDRAM (non-CAS2) IBM 10.something (5400 rpm) Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra 32MB Win98SE After adding the new hardware, I performed a clean reinstall of W98SE and just loaded a few apps...
