Hello everyone,

I'm trying to config my 16Mb Banshee card for best possilble
performence.

The problem is: if i use the latest driver form card maker or 3dfx, the
card gives me better look on desktop (2D) and give me advanced power
management support, but it won't be able to play games (I can hear the
music, but no display, just black screen!).

However, If I still use the old driver (with overwrite files), the card
has no problem to play games, but the color display (desktop) does not
look good as with new driver (with new driver, the desktop backgroud
looks brighter & deeper), plus the system won't be weaken up from
"sleep".

Can anyone help me with this card?

System:
win98 with latest bug fix and directX installed (windows update)
Skywell twinpower 16M PCI (I never get any email successfuly sent to
'em, is their mail server operating?)

TIA

J Qian
