Three of us have basically the same probem.
Me:
My computer is an Asus A7V with the VIA KT133 chipset and a 900 Thunderbird, 256mb of Micron ram, 45gb IBM hard drive, DVD and CD-RW, Linksys NIC, Soundblaster Live soundcard, and prophet dual MX with 32mb of sdram. I Had the problem running 98se then I moved to 2k. I have minimal programs and have loaded the 4in1 drivers before, in the middle, after my other drivers and not at all. It worked fine when I got it then after a few months I couldn't view jpeg's, listen to mp3's, or play games. The pictures were all pixely and funky i got errors and sometimes it quit internet explorer. When I listen to mp3's it sounds like a bird is chirping and when i try to play games it is all jerkey and slow and wierd. I have changed OS's, and downloaded the latest drivers. The motherboard comes with 4 in 1 drivers I have installed them before, in the middle, and after my other drivers. I still have the same problem. If I hook my hard drive up to another computer and play the same mp3's ont the same sound card everything works fine. I even put an ATI video card in it and that didn't help. I returned my motherboard and asus calimed they exchanged it but I still have the same problems. The reason I don't think they replaced it is when I sent it in it had the newest BIOS drivers and my "new" one came back with the same BIOS. Plus the serial number is on a sticker they could have chaned that easily. I need help I'm going crazy. I'm trying to find someone with the same MB so I can see if it is the problem. Any ideas would help. Does anyone with the same problem as me have the problems withe mp3's and jpeg's

I have an Athlon 1.3ghz, 256 sdram, asus a7v mb, radeon 64 vivo and no matter what in any games i run, there is this choppiness when turning and going sideways, all other 3d accelleration is stunningly perfect. I've tried replacing every single part in the system including the mouse, yet this is still here. Is this the extent of what 3d gaming in the 21st century is capable of?

Hi, i got a A7V as well, except mine is a 133-C. I got the same problem as you, its not tearing but a sort of texture jerk which really sux. it worsens for me in 1024x768 and higher resolutions, but its still there a tiny bit in 800 and 640. my overall framerates are very high btw. all of the things people mentioned are no good. i believe this has something to do with the motherboard, via/asus really fuucked up something there with the agp or whatever somehow. ive tried everything under the sun to fix this and absolutely nothing works, whatever this is, its pretty damn low level in the hardware. could possibly be shitty via 4in1 drivers for this particular via chipset. i used to run a cerleron 450 with my geforce and things where fine, now with this new mobo and athlon 1200c, this crap comes along. i notice is mostly in first person shooters, and under diffent 3d games/engines like UT, NOLF, Mech4, Deus Ex. For me i get it with floors mainly, as you run around a map, the floor textures should move past you smoothly but they stutter as they go unneath your gun. such a shame. im actually considering getting a new mobo, maybe a ddr mobo cause i notice we both using sdram as well. hmmm...i been in the 3d card/tweaking business a while now, and ive exhaustively tried to get rid of this annoying thing, but to no avail. theres something very wrong here.
We have both tried alot of things to fix this, alot of things. Like playing with bios setings, flashing bios of mobo and 3d card, vertical refresh rates, vsync, agp transfer rates, aparture sizes, diffrent nidia ref drivers, directx and direct draw rates and drivers, 3d tweaking software like nvmax, played with the standard nvidia options, underclocking, swapping mem and hardware around, win cache sizes, via 4in 1 driver options (using absolute latest v4.32), playing with differnt resolutions, colour depths, graphic engines, on and on and on...
any suggestions, Tom you there? anyone?
