What is a P3 with SSE ?


That's what the display said when I was looking at the properties.

A P3 is a Pentium 3.

I agree, see if you can find a GeForce3 Ti200 or preferrably a Ti500 card.
You can go with an FX 5200 but I'm not sure you would see any sort of
improvement.

I would get either a FX5200 (not worth much more on that system unless you

plan
upgrading it) or a GeForce3 from eBay - I've only just replaced mine and

it was still
pulling strong at 1024x768 32bit MAX settings on UT2003......

I've had the exact same problem myself, and a friend had it too..

In his
case, it was his graphics card, but in my case it was in fact the

monitor. I
suggest you try borrowing a friends graphics card or so to check if

it's the
monitor first, so you don't spend cash where it's not needed. My

monitor had
built-in subwoofer and 2x speakers so I'm guessing that caused it. His

gfx card
was an old TNT2.

From my experience, heat malfunctions usually appear in more

obvious ways
than this, for example garbled colours and twisted polygons in games.


I've swapped out the monitor and it works, so this is definitely
the video card.

Do you know if they sell NVIDIA GeForce 256 32 Mb RAM cards
anymore? I bet they don't. Can you, or anyone, recommend a
replacement for my system? I'm using a AGP bus on a Micron
Millennia 800 MHz P3 with SSE. NVIDIA BIOS version 2.10.02.12
