I've got a p166+ w/64 meg ,Abit 1T5H v2.0 and N2 runs terrible from
Windoze 95. I'm used to running everything at max. Anything less is
not good. The Stealth II is going back. I'm not happy at all with it.
I'm going back to my Stealth 3D 2000 or I might try a Xpert play from
ATI. If I do it will be the firdt time in years I've had a video card
other than Diamond.
