stock with a Chaintech GF2 MX400 64MB agp card which runs quite well.
Surprised me a bit because my older system also has a GF2 MX400 in
it, but runs soooo much slower, possibly because it's a pci card I
suppose. Bus speed is still at the norm 100..possibly 133 but I don't
think so. It's an Asus P4S533 Mobo with the SiS 645dx chipset that
has gotten quite good reviews.

still quite playable. In a raid situation I would probably turn them
off. The bazaar is a little laggy if I don't have the clip plane
down, altho if I only have the old character models enabled I can set
the clip plane to about 50% before I get bad lag. All this, I'm
assuming, is because of the video card limitations. Quite probably it
is your problem (mostly) as well.

on the GF3 ti200 and ti500. So I will likely be going with
that....but then again the GF5s should be coming out within the next
few weeks (according to a magazine article I read) I think, and the
prices should fall even further...
