Humm? I looked at the project's web pages but I don't find a list of
what chipset combinations have proven problemmatic. So let me ask
about what motherboards can folks report as working fine. How about
the Intel Triton 430TX/430HX/430VX motherboards? How about the Pentium
II motherboards? Is it just a question of performance to achieve 30fps
where the above problems appear?
