That is a truly hybrid machine and I am suprised that NL is the only thing
giving you problems. My main points of concern would be 2 differing types of
video cards, one severely outdated, the other dangling on the edge of being
outdated. Also the PII 450 is also rock bottom processing power (not that NL
requires a ton of power), but I think that and the fact that you have
dueling video cards and non SE Win98 (Win98SE is the current best *** OS
until XP is completely tweaked out) are just adding up to too much for some
games to work through.
My suggestion that wouldn't cost you any money would be to yank the really
old voodoo card and just use the GF. An MX GF card with more RAM will out
perform that old 16MB card in most any application.
