Strange OMEGA softmod glitch!

I am using the Omega softmod upgrade for my 9500np based on the 4.6 Cats.
Problem, and a strange on at that, is that I have artifacts in 3dmark2k1,
3dmark03, Aquamark, UT2003, UT2004, but *not* Quake III arena! I switched
UT2003/2004 to OpenGL and the artifacts began to form a consistant pattern.
In the UT2004 menu they disappear each time the picture on the left side is
updated, and then reappear as soon as the updating stops. This continues
into the subsequent submenus as well. I have tried setting everything
possible to their lowest settings - including off ( I even used 3dtweak
although it is not recommended with Omegas ) - to no avail

WTF?

You had bad luck. A few np 9500 can't run as pro.
