I just upgraded from a Diamond Monster voodoo2-12 to a Radeon 64DDR. Sierra Screamin 3d was the 2d card.
Problems are:
1)Vertical lines in all incidents of transparancies in games (smoke,fog,clouds,water,lightsources)
2)Lockups at random in the 3 games I play (Unreal Tournament,Everquest,Asheron's Call)
3)Occasional lockups while booting up or while browsing the net.
I have flashed the bios, installed the latest DX8, installed the latest Ati Radeon drivers.
The only reference to AGP I could find in the cmos was a choice of either PCI,AGP or AGP,PCI. I changed it to the latter.
I'm about at the end of my technical know-how and would appreciate your help.
System:
P2-300
128meg ram
6gig 5200 HD
Asus P2L97 440LX motherboard
I will be upgrading the MB and CPU in a month but wanted some speed gain until then.
Any recommendation on MB-CPU combo for gaming?
I havent had much luck with non-intel in the past (cyrix & AMD)
I was thinking of a P3-1ghz but have no idea what MB to get.
Thank you
