| Here is the LATEST UPDATE:
|
| If you have been following this then you know that
| nothing has worked for me short of uninstalling the
| nvidia drivers and letting the monitor run unrecognized
| in windows. Not ideal.
|
| I tore out the GeForce 3 TI500 AGP and threw in a
| GeForce2 MX 400 PCI and guess what? Well the artifacts
| are gone when running windows, openGL, and Direct3D
| apps. The bad news: this card cost me $50 and it's
| performance is not on par with the GeForce 3 TI500.
|
| Now I am wondering if it is the AGP bus having problems
| or if the card is dying on me. Any guesses on this one?
| I guess I will have to find another AGP slot to try it
| out on and see.
|
| Thanks for the help guys. Kepp this in mind if you find
| any other AGP challenged later generation nvidia owners.
