Windows runs prince of persia t2t and diablo 2 lod without a problem in
3d. Doom 3 RUNS but the vid card isn't enough to run smoothly.
VON suggested the RAM could be unseated a bit. I'll open it up when I get
home and reseat it.
shouldn't take long to scan my 1024mb of 717mhz fsb ram, think I know
exactly where my linux discs are.
