I'm amazed how CPU sensitive Q3A is!

The AXP 1800+ Is slowly approaching what the TI4200 can do.
And even shows negative scaling in High Q @ 1280x1024, whats up with that? =)

The 6800GT however is seriously starved, and for some reason shows way better scaling then the 4200 across all resolutions.

My A7M266-D is a pain to use, passes all stability tests i throw at it.
But still has random lockups, not detecting KB/mouse etc. etc.
I did a partial recap of it, maby its time to do all the small buggers too.
Then again the 760 MP chipset (or rather the 768 B1 SB wich I ofc have) seemes to be kinda buggy overall.

Thread necro and all.
But I sorted the instability issues with the A7M266-D.
Turns out my testbench PSU (Corsair AX760) could not handle the +5v load!
Despite the EPS CPU power that supposedly feeds one of the CPU's.

Tried it yesterday with xp, e5800 and a voodoo5 and all I got was a blank screen 🙁
