  • YaY my G400 is up and running!

    I had a very easy install with the G400 32MB SH OEM. My (not so detailed) setup is as follows:
    Celeron 300A @ 450
    128MB CAS2 PC100 RAM
    G400 32MB sh NOT OCed (yet
    Abit BX6-2 using KH version and an 128 AGP aperature size
    Diamond MX300 using Aureals new reference drivers

    I formatted my hard-drive and installed Win98SE. Once up and running I installed the 5.13 drivers. I noticed the beautiful tech demo running slow. Then I installed 5.15 on top of it. I did not uninstall 5.13. Was that a no-no? Well the tech demo runs smoothly now. In Starsiege Tribes (a game I hear G400 doesnt run well on), it isnt playable in OpenGL, but I can play it in D3D fine. At 1024x768 it slows down very slightly though. This is with all detail on btw. I was wondering what are some good tweaks to use for my G400 to get it at peak performance? Also, should I uninstall 5.15 and reinstall it since I didnt do a clean isntall last time? I'm also not sure whta aperature size to use in my BIOS. Need to learn how to tweak this thing well!

    Thanks for the help,

    P.S. I LOVE that tech demo! Simply awesome.

    Oh yeah, I hear alot about IRQ conflicts. The only thing sharing an IRC with my G400 is the PCI Steering bus. Is that normal/good?

    Sorry for the 20 questions
