No I havn't tried the best appearence/to best performance option yet. I guess I assumed that a G4 could handle whatever was tossed at it. I'll give it a try. Thanks !

Yea, stock driver did the same.

I've put together MSI kt3 ultra motherboard, Athlon 1800x, Maxter hard drive & MSI 4200 stock clocking at 250/446. When I run 3DMark2001 S.E. with latest patch, the polygon portion of the batch almost always freezes. If I disable that part of the batch I can overclock to 300/586 with no artifacts at all. I have no idea why the polygons are such a leap for my system. Any suggestions? I hope Put in latest drivers for card. cpu temps 105/117 when working hard. 2700.DDR.256
