I've got an STB Nitro 64 video card with 2MB RAM in a 233 MHZ MMX computer
with 32 MB RAM and plenty of hard disk space.  I've got a 24X CD-ROM.

The computer runs fine except when my children try to run
graphics-intensive programs from CD-ROM (even when the installation has put
200MB of the program on the hard drive).  The video and/or audio becomes
quite choppy.

I have tried changing to basic resolution from 640x480 - 32-bit color to
24-bit to 16-bit and even to 256 colors, but it doesn't help significantly.

The card does not appear to permit me to set the refresh rate higher than
60, even at 256 colors with 640x480.  I don't know whether that is part of
the problem.

Any suggestions?  Thanks very much.
