Dunno if this is any use to anyone, but its produced good results for me.
simply move your AGP aperture size setting to 16 !!
in the BIOS of your board
works a treat in il2 with a radeon 9800pro
everything is just smoooooth dunno about fps
BUT animation speed seems to be loads more fluid
try it chaps !
hmm what was your default bios setting if you remember?
16?
Phil get rid of that Spectrum 
Not bytes I hope or we’ll be here all night
64MB to 256MB
128MB is usually ok

yeah I know the recommended is 128 or a quarter of your system ram.
I have a wacky theory that the lower the aperture, then the more the program uses the video card ram, therefore is faster and smoother
or am I just full of shit
Phil, you’re quite correct that a smaller apature can help.
As I understand it, the BIOS reserves main memory for that graphics apature. Reducing the apature size leaves more memory available for other processing.
The 128 Mb (or whaterver) is the max that the AGP standard allows …
Your max BIOS setting should not exceed:[ul][li]1/4 of main system memory
[/li][li]the amount of memory on the AGP card[/ul]whichever is smaller
[/li]
(AFIK, this holds for AGP 4, and AGP 8, but AGP 16 may be different)
On my own system, I have AGP apature set one level higher than the minmum I can boot. No special reason, except it gives me the best frame rates with my other video settings
Thanks Painter old chap
you seem to know what your talking about, as ever there is a sea of advice on this.
Ive tried 4 which is the minimum and 8 both seem ok
beware though folks 4 did stuff up my XP install when I tried it
now then what about PCI latency for the audigy2 card some folks say 64 or 96 some folks say 128
any ideas ??
