Problems with a CUV4X

[NuHir]

I have a CUV4X motherboard with a Celeron 466 processor and a VisionTek Geforce2 32MB GTS video card. I have been having serious issues with his board and processor. I have serious issues getting good frame rates in games (Such as Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, and Diablo II). Before, I used to have a TNT2 M64 and I thought it was the problems, but I'm getting the exact same framerate with the GF2. I'm using the latest GF2 drivers and the latest Via4in1 drivers, and I have the MoBo drivers from the CD I got with it (I can't find the drivers on Asus's site). Is there anything else I can do to get better frame rates (I've seen a Diamond Fusion get similar frame rates as my GF2)?

The Celeron is really holding you back. If you want to get better frame rates then you're going to have to upgrade or at least overclock that processor. Also, how much RAM do you have? I would suggest at least 128MB for Win98 and 256MB for Win2k.

I just got 7 rack mounted systems with CUV4X boards in them and one of the things I noticed is one of the SCSI channels is sharing an IRQ with the video card, these systems are using the Matrox 450. Is your video sharing with your SCSI?

I tried putting in a Celeron 600 and I got the smae results. I was running 128MB of RAM (PC 100), but I put in two 32MB strips (PC 66, since the Celeron runs on a 66Mhz bus anyway). I'm going to be grabbing some more RAM this weekend (pulling them out of my Xeon system which doesn't really need that much anyway).

And there's a strange thing about the SCSI. My board doesn't have SCSI, yet, before, I was getting BSODs from a SCSI VxD. I also don't have any SCSI devices, so it might be hard for it to share an IRQ with my Video. Is it possible that I got a PoS board?
