Could you post some 3dmark 2001 benchmarks? Ran at 640x480 @ 16bit so we can compare the V5 cards to V2 SLi setups and alike - also a default settings run so we can compare the V5 cards with Geforce 2 and equivalent radeon cards. That would be awsome.

It's a 133k *.exe What OS and browser are you using? Windows 8.1 x64 + latest version of chrome. Try putting a copy of mouse.com in the windows directory. Ok I'll give that a try. Does the mouse have 3 buttons and a switch on the bottom? Make sure its set to 2-button/Microsoft mode. It has only two …

I'm quite excited with my new motherboard that has just arrived to my office: it's an A-Trend ATC-1452B with my favourite i486 DX2 66mhz onboard. I'm overly impressed wit the quality I'm facing here. It seems more solid than my previous ZIDA 4DPS. http://i68.tinypic.com/29yikug.jpg I'll use it with …

I did. At the first setup screen it detected the mouse as "Logitech" but after it was done installing, the mouse didn't work. I tried ALL win3.11 drivers, none work. If for example I run command prompt under win 3.11 and run cutems or mouse.com and launch notron commander, the mouse will work - but …
