paticularly fast: i.e. even the no_acceleration setting in dxdiag didn't help. Cheers, Stephan

The computer didn't crash, but with the new combination of sb5.1 and KT266A, the videos ran paticularly fast *grin*. Hmm, apart from that, I have no problems with my chipset.... except that linux sometimes detects an chipset error and says that it restores the chip configuration when doing IDE...
