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.

scribbled: , I thus relpy: Windows98? WindowsXP? Lets say either (would it matter) Why put in a mx400? (unless it was $10) Yes, $10.

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 !!!). ray hartman ******************** Gary Tait wrote: Whereas On Tue, 14 Oct 2003 11:26:06 GMT, Darthy scribbled: , I thus relpy: Windows98?

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.
