Sounds identical to mine, using 115R. Also on an EISA machine (486/25,
32Mb). I can solve/avoid my problem using the non-turbo mode on the
VGA card (a Orchid Prodesigner IIs). I never experienced it until I switched
to a 17" monitor that could do 1024x768. On the ol' 640x480 monitor
the turbo-mode worked fine.

I have yet to try 205R on this machine.
