my problem is that my card doesnt seem to be accelerating anything at all in windows
example: load <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com" target="_new">Anandtech</A> and just look at the main page and its animations and adds and flashes and stuff. just doing this causes 60% load on my CPU. scrolling down causes 100% load and Internet Explorer reacts very slowly until i release the mouse.
text only sites dont seem to be a problem, just ones with alot of animation.
also when watching my pron in Media Player or Winamp, the cpu load is about 40%. i know this is totally off, even for Divx, because with my old Duron 1ghz simple web browsing and whatnot barely even made a hiccup
ive tried different driver versions, including 44.03, 45.23, 40.27 and 41.09. im using 41.09 now cause they are the fastest for gaming which doesnt seem to be affected by this. only web browsing and other GUI things
specs:
1900+ AXP
KT333 mobo
512m/ram
TI4200@275/550
Win2kPro sp4
and yes, i have the newest Via drivers installed, and have tried older versions as well. this problem did not exist in windowsXP
