So it woulde slow/fast enough for 98 and also enough for xp if necessary. And the good …

After analyzing it seems there might be somehow a conflict with the onboard gpu. Is it possible that wi98 cant handle it somehow? All my other boards did not have an onboard gpu. In bios i can only choose the primary one. But nothing more. I already set it to agp

So just bought now one for 22 € incl Shipping. seems to be quite good price. But wasnt so easy as i expected since most of the 20" do not have the 1.33 ratio, most were 1.6 so kind of wide screen

Unfortunately my monitor doesnt do it. My monitor steetches the picture to top/bottom. Is there any possibility to disable the stretching? Or hsve been there tft monitors in 4:3 ratio? For Windows this is not a problem with stretching but some older games look bit odd.

The biggest problem on that card is that on Resolution 1280 with 32 bit is getting sometimes its limit maxed up. The first …
