Hello, Mike I have a MSI K7Ndelta motherboard with an NVidia nforce 2 ultra 400 chipset and an XP2600 chip. It's basically a chess box but I like to use the 3d boards when I play. My current video card is a Geforce 2 mx 400 with 32mb ram. The performance of the 3d chess boards is terrible. With max resolution of the board and pieces I get like 7 frames per sec. What does your radeon do? Thanks Tony
