Hello Group,
Had my old motherboard SIS chip set go down last week. The motherboard died and took my Athlon 2400 XP with it.
Now I have an ASUS motherboard with on board VIA*Delta Chrome graphics. <snip> Best wishes,
Clive. From my experience, it is not really Asus to be blamed (ok, I know, this is an unpopular statement) but it is your onboard VIA Delta Chrome stuff. Okay, lastly it might be your lousy day since you bought such a board. ;-))
My advice: Change that and buy a graphics adapter from Nvidia (well ATI is working, as well). Even if you use the cheapest GPU, that money can buy you, you will get WAY MORE performance and you can forget about your trouble.
just my 0.2 cents Eberhard
FWIW (not even 0.2 of a cent :) I have an MSI board with onboard VIA Chrome. I had continual problems - mouse suddenly shooting to a corner of the screen, video flicker etc - that all went away when I bought a cheap nvidia card. So I second Eberhard's advice if you can afford it.
Cheers, Dave Dave, your firsthand experience is worth way more that 0.2 of a cent :-)))).
Well, as much as I hate to say it. I know positively that onboard VIA chrome in all fairness works "ok" with Win XP when you use the VIA drivers. I do not know about Vista though. By "ok" I mean that it works faultlessly, as long as you accept that 3D Acceleration is somewhere between lousy and non-existent. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
