There's a setting to force the z buffer to 24 bit under openGL
advanced options try that.

Ok, I've forced 24 bit, no difference. I scrubbed the ATI drivers and
ctl pan, installed the Omegas based on 4.6 and this seems to have
cleaned up that corruption in DX games, but not OGL. twiddled various
settings in the OGL tab and even got Q3 where it wouldn't run. Twiddled
more and it runs, still with corruption.
Just played several hours of Halo, set up a server, had a lot of fun.
Noted that there would be an odd and rare black or color line connecting
me to the spawn point for a bit. Once I cross a certain distance, the
line stuck where it was at that point. That happened maybe 3 times.
I'm wondering if I need to reinstall XP?
3rd mobo, 3rd CPU and 3rd video card on this one installation of XP.
Namely since I installed the newest hd, a 160g. Fat32.
Yeah, I probably do need to fdisk it, format to NTFS and do a fresh
clean install.
Thanks for the input folks.

Hi

Well I thought I'd spec my new AIW 9800 pro, sitting in a A7N8X deluxe
rev2 bios 1007with a Athlon XP 3200+ 400fsb running at 2.37 with 768megs
of OCZ pc3200EL ram.
System is clocked at 11 x 211 stable running prime95 for 12 hrs.

My 3dmark03 was in and around 3800, I was choked, its a fresh XP pro
install.
Even OC the video card with ATI Tool 401core and 378mem didnt do much
better.

Seems like i should be up in the 5000 area.

Yep... I get around 5500 with my 9800Pro (non AIW) with an AMD2500.
(not OC)

Sometimes Overclocking the system can REDUCE performance... Some
areas were FASTER with OC, others were slower - so I said screw it and
run the system at default. And I have a late model (Rev3) of that
moboboard.
