RE: OT VIA freezing

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Yup, watch for the speed setting for RAM as well, it has to be right if
you are playing 3D games as I found out the hard way trying to run
Medal
Of Honour at first, Renegade was more stable on XP...just! It still
freezes with various things causing the error, one is a driver error
for
VGA, memory MS gobbledigook and some weird TCP/IP error. That's me
running a gig of DDR with an Athlon 1700+ on an Asus mobo with GE
Force3
Golden Sample Chaintech card in the PC.

Some of the newer games seem _not_ to take too kindly to a little
overclocking IME.

When it runs it's really good though ;-)
