I have just upgraded to a 1Ghz Athlon on a Via KT133a M/B (Gigabyte) and (as
always) am now looking to upgrade the video card (never ending circle -
isn't it?). Lately I've been hearing some horror stories about NVidia cards
on Via M/Boards and wondered:
1) Can anyone give me any detail about problems with this combo -
specifically with a GeForce 11 GTS
2) Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) using a Radeon card with
the usual car sims (GPL, GP3, Rallymasters, F12K, NFS5 etc)
Any comments would be appreciated (I need to spend some more money :-)
TIA..
Phillip..
Ask Tom Pabst..at least he can point you to some websites that have
some information on them. I think it is not so much a Via/Nividia problem,
but a Via/WINDOWS ACPI problem that is more common on Nvidia systems. I
don't have any details tho...Tom is one on the lead with that
topic.

working properly is Via's 4 in 1 driver update which can be downloaded from
their website. I have both a TNT2 and a GeForce 2 MX and they work fine.

Phillip,
I run Nasar4 and GPL on my Duron 750/Soyo KT133 motherboard and have nothing
but good things to say about my 32DDR Radeon card. I get 40-75 fps online.
Never srops below 40.
