i appreciate all your help thus far.
i ordered a radeon 9600se, so I should be using that instead of the integrated chip soon.
I was wondering, though, if you could tell me for sure about the raibow problem I cannot get rid of with the radeon igp chip on my laptop?

As far as I know the Savage doesn't do deinterlacing in hardware, the<br>Radeon driver does that with TV overlays. So deinterlacing is done in<br>software, which may be slow.<br><br>Video scaling should be working. A few days ago Alex committed something<br>that enabled smooth scaling on the ProSavages again.<br><br>It is true that the Xv code uses a lot of CPU cycles.

Also consider the price ratio. I think even an<br>old Voodoo3 easily outperforms a ProSavageDDR. But it produces much more<br>heat too. So you see there are different motivations for different kinds<br>of chips and they all have different strengths.<br><br>Felix<br><br>On Thu, 25 Mar 2004 15:34:49 -0500 (EST)<br>"John H." <mrm...@my...> wrote:<br><br>> <br>> i mean, sheesh, with tvtime, i have to do half deinterlace for decent performance, and video scaling doesn't even really work. is this all driver related, or does the integrated prosavageddr really stink that badly? it seems worse than my old geforce2 and laptop's ati radeon igp<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> No banners.
