A new HAL made no difference. Sigh. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Another option occurs to me: get a new video card and stop using the |
| 59 |
onboard one. I've barely paid any attention to the threads about ATI |
| 60 |
vs NVIDIA, and don't know if there are any others worth considering. |
| 61 |
Care to make a suggestion for someone who rarely (read: almost never) |
| 62 |
plays games or does other work that stress a video card, and just |
| 63 |
wants the stuff to work? In current machines, it would be a PCI-X |
| 64 |
(not PCI-E) card. |
