  • Settings registry/tweaking for a G400? crashes.

    Hello!
    Everything in my system has its own dedicated IRQ, and my OS loaded flawlessly along with some other software. I installed Shogo with the 221_4 patch and loaded up single play for about 10-12 mins and it ran fine, so later today I went to play LAN multi-play and it went ka-put whenever I met up with the enemy and went to shoot(only two of us were playing). What is wrong.? I also played Descent3 for about 15min and everything was a-okay. I am using the latest BIOS and the cd drivers. Are their things I should set - I turned on 32bit ZBuffer, is this good? What other things or reg hacks are needed? I do not know of what they are but have seen referrals. Also at I load PCIList and it reports AGP 2x - do I need to run a game first then check? If so how do I change that? If I am in 2X should i try 1X? What are the URL's for these files? In Himself control panel util that I just d/l should I enable anisoptropic(sp?) or not? Help me out with the best optimizing settings to run the G400 smooth. Anything else you can offer would be well appreciated since I am very unfamiliar with matrox products and the G400 "tweaks". thanks! My system:
    -Abit BX6 r2 slotket Celeron 466
    -G400 32Mb DH
    -3Com PCI NIC - someone here suggested to load the 3Com minimum driver (sans diagnostics and value software) set instead of win98 cd files. I havent yet.
    -SBLive! value - I am not using LiveWare 2.1 yet, if I install it will that help?
    -128PC100 SDRAM stick- it is a few weeks old only
    -10.1Gb WDC, 850Mb WDC, 12x CDrom
    is heat a problem, my case is open all the time since I just put everything up. Also should I get the latest drivers? It seems a pain to do full uninstall of these drivers and install the new - is it worth it? Also- the G400 tech demo ran fine when the G400 was solo in the system - it seems to have issues now that the two others are in there. I wonder if the NIC windows drivers cause issue - but when not doing network game, only network drives mapped in explorer? Thanks for the opt. settings help and such!

    -Sprocket,
    again thank you for any replies!
    Abit BX6R2 466@525 Intel Celeron, WD 10.1Gb Matrox G400 32Mb DH, SBLive!, 3Com NIC, 256Mb PC100 SDRAM, 4Gb Tape backup, IDE internal ZIP, trusty 12x CDROM running RedHat 5.2 Linux and Windows98.
