The video card is a Tseng Labs ET4000/W32P PCI with 1 Meg
of VRAM.
Why would the video card effect playback for speeds like 3 FPS
where 90% of the time is spent waiting? I would find it hard to
believe that LightWave is coded to plaster the same image up
ten times in a row and then move on to the next. I would expect
it to prepare the next image in a buffer and watch the clock until
the exact moment arrives for the switch.
This Mitac machine is a curse. I think I need to sell it and look
for a whole new system.
