GeForce2 MX400 64MB - poor scrolling
 

Hi,

I recently installed a GeForce2 MX400 64MB , in place of a 32MB GeForce2
MX200.
Now i notice when I scroll page up/down , on the net, I get a ripple effect
on screen. It's at it's worst with WIN TV operating (always on top) .
Is it normal to get some degradation ?
How do I optimise bios (etc) setting to reduce (or even eliminate ) the
effect.

TIA
Denis

Why put in a mx400? (unless it was $10)

When you have a vid card worth $1 , a $10 is a major upgrade ;)

Did you install the drivers?

Thanks .
I have latest VIA drivers. latest nVidea drivers, running at 1024 x 768 @
60HZ . That seems within spec for my dell 17" crt
Bios is the latest from Abit.

So... does it work any worse or better on other games?

Lets say either (would it matter)

Yes, $10.
(FWIW, I am thinking of an MX440 for a simialr really cheap deal, just
looking to see if I should or not, to improve on an obsolete 1st gen
AGP card, with a very slim budget, I could afford to lose that until
I can afford a current card, which I was figuring an FX5200)

The mx440 is no slouch : I run Chaintech versions in 2 of my boxes, and
consider the cards very reliable. Most recent, I got an FX5200 to push a
new VX900 LCD under WinME & it does fine ( NEEDS DX_9 installed !!!).

Ok ! problem solved. I moved my cards around in the PCI slots to
redistriibute use of IRQs.

The modem card was sharing with the graphics card - once I eliminated that
, it solved the problem.

Thanks to all for the input/comments

Regards

Denis
