Why bother - paul@viahardware. com gets all the l8est bioses the second they're released and releases his modded versions with l8est hp bios soon after. . . .

mhhhh...u tried another GFX on that board?

i found a preview of this board here
and there i saw, that
the board still sports the old VIA Southbridge (VT8235)

maybe it´s "too slow" , but i´m not sure!

if possible, try another GFX first in ur 2nd PC and then on ur KuDoz 7X/600 and then compare

but, one question.....
do u feel any differences between 190 and 250 fps?

i don´t think so

and if the points in other progs are like other PC with ur card
then i think everything is ok *smile*

and i think no game is a Dia-Show, so i think , no prob because of a drop by 60 frames in Q3
