Hey. I have an agp nVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64 grafix card...whenever i run anything that has even semi-good graphics, my pc freezes...the only games that dont freeze are Tony hawk 3, Tony Hawk 2, and Metal Gear Solid....and those are all ports from other systems. ANyways, whenever i remove my NIC, my card works just fine. I even did all the work of making sure all of my IRQ #s were not the same as my video card....you cant change it in my bios either, i had to move all my cards and uninstall and reinstall my drivers...but anyways, does anybody have any idea why this happens? and if so, how do i make it so that i can keep my NIC in and have my video card work?
Thanks

Tell me what games won't play. Your kind of streching it with the 333 mhz processor. I f you were trying to play some new game with 333 mhz they will just laugh at you.
