Its the new nvidia drivers, they suck. another quick fix is to have windows media player run in 3/4th hardware acceleration mode.

I run BF2, with the 4.12 ATI drivers and I put everything on High settings, and 4xAA and I get around 40fps and 30fps in lots of action. P4 2.8ghz 533FSB GEIL 1024mb pc3200 running Dual (2x 512mb) Radeon 9800 PRO 128mb (ATI)

I have an ATI official 9800pro 128mb card. Right now Im using the 4.12's for the card, because the most recent drivers gave me a bit of lag in a few older games. Am I missing out on anything with the 4.12's or should I update to the newest for BF2?

I am having trouble watching video's in windows media player, everything is bright unless I turn down hardware acceleration. I have just installed this card for the first time in about a year and Im not sure whats causing it. I am using the latest drivers. Perhaps older ones? Also, whats the...

Hey. If anyone has MSN Messenger 7, maybe they can help me out. When I use the Pack option, to have a custom theme, it makes my message box much bigger then the default. Once I use any pack, my message box is permedently large, and very anoying, does anyone know how to get my message boxes...

The Ti4200 will definately not beat out a 9550. The 9550 can handle DX9 tasks in HL2 pretty well with a modern PC, and as far as ti4200 vs 9550 in DX8, the 9550 is quite a bit faster. I know this, I have both cards. The 9550 is about 3x as fast as the 9200, just a tiny bit slower then the...

It seems your system's V-mem is correct, if you installed your OS with that 1gig of memory present, Windows XP will set the virtual memory to custom, for the appropriate ammount, if you set it to auto manage, it will use the same settings. I'm not sure what it is but you should def not be...

Out of the two you have narrowed it down to, get the 9550.

I would go with a Rage 3D Pro, lightning FAST GFX!!!!

No, you are right, I never had an ABIT board.

Unless the game is Ultima Online, your probablly going to want to get a 9000 or 9200. The original Radeon and GF2 are not really worth the price (new) compared to last generation cards, that could run around only $5 more for entry level. Go with one of these: Radeon 9000 Radeon...

I have also never had a lying motherboard.

I would of recommened the 6600GT if I knew that was what you considered a cheap upgrade. LoL. Whenever someone says cheap upgrade, I always think around the $50-$100 range.

I'm not quite sure about the prescott vs. Northwood thing. As software becomes more demanding, shouldnt the Prescott become a great advantage? I thought the prescott beat out the northwood is some categories? Either way, they are super close. I Installed a few northwoods and a few...

IF anyone owns a THX enhanced or LUCAS ARTS movie, like star wars on DVD, and you have a DVD-ROM, there is a THX optimizer within the DvD menu. This works perfectly to help you adjust your television so that it is perfect for viewing. I feel it works great, and has step by step instructions...
