Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: GEForce 4 Problem" 06-29-02, 21:45z  Greetings Mark: > Well, I **THOUGHT** I knew what I was doing in the OLR.

So I'll copy & paste this online. The default setting on the OLR is to automatically mark messages read, so if you have the New Messages Only radio button enabled, messages will "disappear" once you've seen them. To make them "reappear", select "All Threads." Personally, I disable auto mark messages read (under the Options menu) and I think we'll disable that by default in the next release as it seems to cause too much confusion leaving it enabled. > In any case, to answer your questions, as best I recall them: > > The machine is a P3 850 w/ an Asus P2B mobo. 512M of memory.

I run a similar setup (P2B mobo has really been a workhorse). Which bios are you running? Two other things come to mind; if I recall correctly the P2B only as a 1x or 2x AGP slot, so it's choking your GF4 card (which I believe is a 4x card); the P2B is a 100mHz FSB and to run at 850, you must be overclocking, so perhaps your AGP slot may be running too fast. > You gave me an idea, and I went prowling around the BIOS.
