Hello all you experts. I have another question for the group. I only hope I can provide you with enough info to solve it. My friend has a Voodoo 3D FX (2000?) I think..Graphics card, running under W98, Abit motherboard (new as of today, but these symptoms presented themselves on the old MB too. 128 RAM, Celeron 533 chip ( as of today, too).. The old MB also had a Celeron. I don't know what more info you might need. So here's the question: He is playing a game--any game it seems and the video all of a sudden stalls--stops moving for a sec or two, then continues on again.. This happens every 15 seconds or so...This may be a vague description, for that I am sorry, but does this sound like anything anyone has experienced or knows about? Your opinions/help would be greatly appreciated.. Thank you, Kathleen LaValley PCBUILD mailing list is brought to you by: The NOSPIN Group http://nospin.com - http://nospin.org
