The chipset is detected as a KM133.. its actually a VIA 8751(P4M266)\VT8233A. the problem is that when i try to play games like "tux racer" or chromium, the frame rate is pathetic..like a slide show! i have played it on a P3 with an 810e chipset , and it ran nicely...even on a P4 1.8 with an 845 chipset, and it ran fine there too! whats the deal: a)the ProSavageDDR is worse than even the 810e chipset b) the dirvers arent good enough(plz note, i got the latest driver for this chipset from Probo`s site, thinking that the default RedHat driver wasnt good enough) plz note that none of the chipsets mentioned above have 3d support in Xfree86..then what the heck is wrong??i cant even think of playing unreal etc ...i wanna play games thanx in advance Last edited by funkymunky; 09-07-2003 at 10:43 AM.
