Hello,

I´ve tried various combinations in BIOS (aperture 512MB, overclock
VGA, 2.5T TURBO, and some others) but when I play 800x600 32bits with
everything (almost) at high the game 'shakes/moves slowly' on some
scenes. Running WinXP with nForce and forceware/detonator latest
drivers installed. If I turn on anti-aliasing it gets terrible.

Are you out there having same "problem"? Anything I can do? (except
buying an AGP card 8-)

Thanks in advance,
Sergio/Brazil

This board is just not capable of running 3D games with good quality.
Don't even consider to turn on AA. Your suggestion is the only good
one.

I don't know what specs NFS has, but the fact is your board has a built-in
geforce 2mx. This sucks.

And you're having a laugh trying to turn on AA!

I have a Radeon 8500 (which falls somewhere between a gf3 and gf4 ti4200)
and while it takes everything I can throw at it (UT2003 etc.), I'm still not
stupid enough to try AA with it. Not on a demanding title anyway.

You can pick up a GF3 or 8500 pretty cheaply on ebay. Do NOT get a gf4 mx!
