"******GeForce 2 (MX, GTS, ULTRA) Tweaks and Settings for N4******

Desktop Color:  Set to 16-bit color for N4 and all games.

DirectX: Make sure you are using a DX 8.0 compatible driver (Nvidia Ref
drivers versions 7.0 or higher)

For N4:  Run OpenGL (not D3D) in "XXXX"x16 (you must use a screen res
compatible with your CPU speed and ram).

Monitor:  Make sure you have downloaded the latest drivers for your
monitor...DO NOT USE "Plug and Play" Monitor drivers!  Set your refresh rate
at the highest setting you are allowed for your monitor at the specific
screen res you want to run N4 at.

Advanced Settings Tab For OpenGL:
           In The Scroll Down Box:
                 Enable Buffer Region Extension (checked)
                Allow the dual planes extension to us local video memory
(checked)
                Use fast linear-mipmap-linear filtering (checked)
                ****all others are unchecked****

            Default Color Depth for Textures:  Always Use 16 bpp
            Buffer Flipping Mode:  Use page flip
            Vertical sync: Always off
            Full Scene Antialiasing Method: Always off

            Use up to [62] MB of system memory for textures in PCI mode

Mother Board BIOS Settings:
            Video BIOS Shadow = "Disabled"
            Video BIOS Cache = "Disabled"
            Palette Snoop = "Disabled"
            AGP Turbo (or x4) = "Enabled" (if your mobo supports
it....disabled or 2x or 1x if it does not)
            PnP Aware OS = "Yes"
            AGP Aperture Size = 128 mb (only if you have 128 mb or
more...which you should)
            Resources Controlled by = "Auto"
            Assign IRQ to VGA = "Yes"
