Hi,
I've used hardware profiles before. What do you think are the most
disruptive aspects or settings of AGP that I can change or tweak? I ran Win
2000 for a year with an old 4 meg PCI card with no lockups-. until I got an
AGP card. I'm not a gamer, so I don't need high frame rates. I went through
the routine of updating video drivers on Win 2K, but I still get periodic
lockups. Most of the lockups have been in Internet Explorer, if that helps.
Thanks.
