Subject: Update on my graphics card...

Hi,

In my earlier thread: "How much RAM, etc.?", I asked about the "jerky/slow"
movement of pieces in my Hiarcs 9 3D chessboard, amongst other things.

This morning, my computer guy came over and installed a new graphics card with
64 MB of video RAM.  The card is an "ASUS GeForce2 MX-400".

Anyway...everything seems quite fast (opening/closing programs, etc.), and while
still a bit "jerky", my Hiarcs piece movement is certainly faster and smoother
than it was.  Not as fast and smooth as CM 9000's has always been, but
noticeably better than it was.

And again my thanks to Dave Kuntzsch for telling me about the "low" priority
setting for the chess programs...that quite completely solved the issue with
other programs slowing down a bit.

PS: This sure is a busy forum! :-)
