Alright, this is a doozy so heads up. My computer wouldn't boot up, all I saw were the lights in my computer go on, nothing on the monitor. Being the rational person I am, I bought a new video card thinking that was the problem. It wasn't and after hours of tinkering with the inside, I reset my CMOS and everything worked. So with my new video card I downloaded some Omega drivers for it. That screwed it up really bad that i had to run it in safe mode and uninstall them. So I put my old one back in knowing the video card wasnt the problem in the first place. (Old one: GeForce4 MX 440 New one: Geforce MX 4000) I downloaded the drivers from Nvidia.com and nothing went wrong. Now however, I get horrible frame rate on everything I do. Games, video, even surfing the web! My full PC specs at this moment are: P3 1.00GHz 448 MB RAM Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 GFX card Unknown mobo unknown power supply Please someone help me with this problem!

The MX4000 is a downgrade, not an upgrade...the MX440 blows it away http://www.ultimatehardware.net/xfx4000/xfx4000.htm "I reset my CMOS and everything worked" Did you run thru ALL the settings & correct them? Simply using the default settings or optimal settings is not the way to go Did you uninstall & reinstall the drivers correctly? The latest drivers are optimized for newer cards...you have an older card & should be using older drivers. Try version 61.77 http://www.nvidia.com/object/driver_installation_hints.html http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

Okay, I downloaded those drivers and not much of a difference. Also, I know nothing about the BIOS and how to set it up. I don't know what settings to turn on and off or to modify. Any ideas?
