    I play UT at 16x12 and the FPS counter NEVER drops below 40fps. I do see it spike up towards 60-70 but it all depends on the action on the screen. There are VERY few people having problems with hollywood cards.

     

    Btw why are you installing the NT driver? It should be Hollywood plus beta driver, reboot, Creative software. Or in a Official hoolywood cards sake it's Hollywood plus beta driver, reboot, Hollywood Plus software(dvd station).

    I'm using an Asus p3v4x (via apollopro 133a) with the latest via drivers and it's DAMN stable and smooth.

     

    Not to mention supports those nice new features (agp4x/133mhz/udma66) etc.

     

    It's cheap to boot

    The thing is not going to work right until they get official drivers. It isn't EVEN worth it. Just use your Hollywood Plus in 98 for now and wait like the rest of us.


    Dude, My hollywood plus has worked FLAWLESS in win2k since I've had it. I had one issue with my new motherboard but that was easily fixed.

    Check the sigma designs newsgroups.

    Ok ok I managed to hold off until now, but http://www.webtoolsplus.com is just WAY too funny. I know I know, I'm just generating more hits for his "Website" but man it's just hilarious.

     

    oops, I guess this would be considered a useless post so count me down to 407 posts instead and that only makes me 7.4 times smarter than the king himself, according to his method of calculating intelligence.

    No, TV out support is not in reference drivers. SO far I have experienced(upgraded to 5.16 from 5.14) a loss of opengl and McM2 beta(which used to run alright) now freezes.

     

    Came to my pc in the morning and had to reset it as there was nothing but a blank screen. AVI playback is still quite flaky and will lock up my machine whenever the hell it wants. Oh yeah and Unreal Tournament is CHOPPY and SLOW as Sh*t right now. Still haven't tried figuring that one out.

     

    Thank god this DDR was free and will be replaced by my V5 when it arrives.

    I'll repeat again, it's a beta.

     

    In case your not sure what that means is, it's NOT FINISHED.

     

    "It is BETA for sure, but even though it should work!!" <-- why?

     

    Point of a beta is to test the software for issues(bugs) and fix them. Well I would tend to say you found some issues they have probably been fixed. So NO it's not gonna go above 640, No no one is gonna find a way to make it work any better. And Be patient it's out in 2 weeks anyway.

     

    And if your so persistant do what I do, use FSAA it looks tolerable then.

    Yes it would run on the second monitor on your tnt2. But actually you would have specified your tnt2 and that monitor to be your primary display in windows display settings. So technically it would be running on your primary. All setting the bios to pci first followed by agp does is tell the tnt2 to take over the secondary monitor capabilites cause windows CAN do it with the tnt2 as second(the tnt2 supports the dual monitor). The other way around says for the S3 to do it but then windows can't do it(as the s3 drivers don't support dual monitor).

    If you switch the bios settings around your tnt2 will be the 2nd monitor(tnt2 supports dual monitor. The S3 would be doing the main monitor. Then in windows you respecify which is your primary and adjust your setup accordingly. I had this problem with an SIS 620 card(and it did work but sis cards suck ass). I now use a banshee for my secondary monitor. In 98 you can simply reconfigure the setup when you switch it in the bios.

    And your primary card is? What error message are you getting? What exactly happens? Try setting your bios to init first display to PCI to tell windows that your AGP card is your secondary card. Then switch it around in windows.

    From One canuk to another =), your getting beta2 lets hope it runs better than beta 1. The only vid card i've seen beta 1 run in win2k with is an ati rage 128(errr umm yeah)everything else stops responding(3dfx/nvidia)I don't know if Ballplayer was referring to beta1 or 2. I Can't wait for the final......god damn.....no WinMe for some MCM action.

    No idea on release date, the changes I've seen are purely cosmetic....

     

    ctrl alt delete brings up task manger immediately(no windows security menu)

    there is a user tab in task manager to see users loggon onto your pc.......there options to see the processes and resources used by the users. the shut down on the task bar is "Shut down computer" which brings up a 3 button box with shut down restart and cancel. Control panel is setup like Win Me.

     

    It still says win2k everywhere.

    The inital boot is much quicker the white bar that moves across the screen is there not even long enough for you to hit F8.

     

    The task bar says "windows 2001" on it. Aside from that I couldn't see much different in the 30 minutes i played with it.

    Simple solution for your putlook problem(and it's probably the only one your gonna get)

     

    In the OS you use the most don't change your settings.....in the otherone(probably 98) set Outlook to leave a copy of the messages on the server. SO when you download in 98 they will be left there. When going to win2k you will downlaod them again and then remove them fromt he server, having a copy in both outlooks.
