Hopefully this isn't your problem because the only > way I know fix it is to replace the misbehaving card. I don't like the sound of that. I've got 3 PCI-cards a SB PCI128 (ES1371), G400 AGP and a 3com ethernetcard I got recommended. And isn't it the job of the OS to allocate "bustime" and making sure that no HW is hogging the bus? But your reasoning sound logic though. The G400 is only 1x AGP and I'm running at an resolution at 1600x1200-32 which would give something along the lines of 7,3 MB/update. How often does X update? I guess it isn't doing it at the pace of the screens refresh-rate (76Hz) which is kinda 2x the limit of the AGP-port! ;) Oh well, I've wanted to get my hands on a G450 and SB Live! for a while, so this might be a nice excuse! ... unless the culprit is the networkcard.
