- If you have an S3-based graphics card, you might want to get the vendor's
- latest driver. I have a #9 FX Motion 771 card, and I got quite a few comm
- port overruns until I got their latest driver, which features bus-throttling.
- Graphics are a bit slower (almost not measurable), but I'm not doing a lot
- of graphics-intensive work anyway. BTW, my comm port overrun problems went
- away!
