I am not using the beta drivers because I am still using Win ME. My problem
probably is my power supply. I have some Antec 250W power supply. I never
had lock-ups with the GeForce2 card. I guess the extra power of the
GeForce4 card put me over the limit. Is it hard to install a power supply?
I like my case and I am too cheap to buy an entire case.

www.madonion.com and it allows you to compare you score against others with
the same (or different) hardware. Of course, some people overclock the shit
out of their hardware so there will always be people with scores incredibly
higher than yours. I usually look for an average.

(even with my GF2) but it seems to be much better now that I have upgraded
my power supply. You can try buying a power supply from BestBuy or
something and the return it if it doesn't help. I also had troubles when I
had my USB devices hooked up at the same time (for whatever reason) so try
unplugging all of your hardware.

do NOT select the Detonator 40 option, you should be able to get the latest
non-beta drivers.
