KR7A-133

Hi,

I recently installed a GeForce2 MX400 64MB , in place of a 32MB GeForce2 MX200. Now i notice when I scroll page up/down , on the net, I get a ripple effect on screen. It's at it's worst with WIN TV operating (always on top) . Is it normal to get some degradation ? How do I optimise bios (etc) setting to reduce (or even eliminate ) the effect.

TIA
Denis

It's not necessarily a BIOS problem. Make sure you have the latest VIA chipset drivers. It wouldn't hurt to have the latest BIOS for your motherboard. Also, look into the refresh frequency you're using. Your new card may be outputting at a higher frequency than your monitor can reliably work at. I hope this helps.

Thanks .
I have latest VIA drivers. latest nVidea drivers, running at 1024 x 768 @ 60HZ . That seems within spec for a dell 17" crt Bios is the latest from Abit. I've posted on group alt.periph.videocardsn.Videa also today , to see if anybody there might have a suggestion
