yeah, i've got sp1 and dx8.0a, everything that can be patched, updated, downloaded has been. The new intel ultra ata driver that just came out is the latest thing i've added. ThC129, i agree with you, but if i keep waiting for a better ddr board, they'll have qdr by then or the new rambus that's runnin on a 1ghz + bus will probably boast better performance. J

hey thanks guys. I know about the 820 and just never got around to RMA'ing my mobo (i guess it's cause i never had any problems with it while i was using 98/Me) I'm looking at getting the new iwill dvd266-r which is apollo pro 266 and ddr and PRAYING that will help. HarU, don't worry man, I've reinstalled so many times i should apply for a Univerity Site License. As for Q3, i haven't tried that yet, but i have been playing Gore Multiplayer Test and that seems to run fine for about 2 levels, then that crashes to the desktop with another error message (not GPF though, i can't remember which). I'm also getting some tearing and blinking polygons in the games, which keeps telling me it's drivers, drivers, drivers. But man, I've tried them all- 11.01's, 10.80's, the whql certified 7.58's, and a slew more with all the same effect. Every bus/system speed it at factory default, my agp aperture is 128mb, played with that, nothin. I'm about to give up and just dual boot with Me. I guess if you can't beat'em, join em. thanks again, J

I've applied all the UT updates, tried every nividia set of driver's i could find, all the W2K updates, ran it in software renderer, d3d, opengl. Played in my bios, played with the memory, no overclocking, played in the registry, scoured the geforefaq.com and tried all that. No matter what i do, the game just crash to a GPF on the desktop. Sometimes i can play it for like 5min, then wham. When i load the game, makes it thru city intro 50%, the other 50% wham, crash. When i load it up and click on the preferences menu, the menu starts to flicker, faster and faster, then wham, GPF. I'm completely out of options guys and any help anyone can provide would be so greatly appreciated. Here's my sys info: PIII 1.0Ghz (no o'clocking) SuperMicro PIIISCD (I820 mobo, latest bios) 192mb Crucial pc100 ram (no o'clocking) Herc 3d Prophet ddr-dvi Gforce1 32mb, all driver's tried, agp4x in bios 2 maxtor 40gig's ata 66 generic dvd creative cdrw 8/4/32x 400 watt psu 3com 905b-tx nic philips acoustic edge soundcard that's all i've got in there, assume i've updated all system devices/apps/2k patches and drivers to the latest ones. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide--- I miss my UT and fear going back to Me/98. thanks again, J
