I probably should have purchased the Asus GeForce2 GTS card, then I could at least narrow my field of blame :) I've got the Creative Annihilator 2 card. I don't believe they've offered any really new software other than the a minor update Blaster Control update and a similar update with Windows...

I know that the difference isn't that drastic. I'm just irritated that I'm sold something that claims to be able to do a thing that it apparently can't do well. I've gone the furthest with this that I'm willing to go. I've updated my A7V to BIOS rev 1005B (at http://www.athlonmb.com ), set...

Looks like I spoke too soon. With all the work I've done, gaming works fine with AGP 4X and Fast Writes, however, I'm getting occasional lockups using 2D applications, such as IE and Windows Media Player (go figure). For now, as kludgy as it is, if I'm doing anything important in 2D, I'll set...

After three crashes while using IE 5.5 with my above-mentioned setup, I took two more steps: 1) Got the latest IE patch 2) Installed the nvidia Detonator 3 drivers No more lockups since then.

Aha! Now it works.. here's what I have, and here's what I did to get it to work: Asus A7V rev 1004D, Athalon Tbird 900mhz SB Live w/ latest drivers from Creative Creative Annihilator2 w/ latest drivers from Creative Windows ME Bios settings: System Performance: Optimal 4X Drive Strength: Auto...

I'll try setting it manually. I'm using WinME, and it's puking under auto.

Oh? I can't get my A7V (KT133) to work at 4x AGP with my Creative Annihilator2. How'd you do it? (I'm using the latest Creative drivers + VIA AGP4.04)

I'm having a similar issue with my A7V and Creative Annihilator2. Unfortunately the only solution I've succeded with is setting the bios from Optimal to Standard, which runs the AGP at 2x rather than 4x. :( phronq@porkclocktower.com

I recently added a Creative Annihilator 2 GeForce2 GTS card to my Athalon 900mhz system and I'm having trouble with it hanging whenever I try to play *any* game. In fact, I had it hang in 2D applications at least twice as well. I'm using an Asus A7V bios rev. 1004a with the KT133 chipset. This...
