There is a GeForce 2 FAQ which mentions PCI latency particularly on certain VIA chipset defaulting to 32 and needing to be either 0 or 64 for stability. I don't recall a PCI latency option in my BIOS but can look if that's what I should be trying. Am I to understand it that the patch you mention simply sets this value regardless of whether or not it's an option in the BIOS? --=20 Joseph Carter <kng...@de...> Free software developer * knghtbrd is gone - zzz - messages will be snapped like wet towels at all of the people who have stolen the trademark knghtbrd away message <Coderjoe> ack * Coderjoe prepares to defend himself from wet messages |
