No matter how many frames per second I get out of the card, it won't replace the joy of manually reducing something's necksize. On that subject, I think FC11 is still overclocking the card. How do I tell it not to? Also, a problem I've had forever seems to be worse with FC13. With FC13, I only get to see about a quarter of a character on the left edge of the screen. In the past, I've tried adjusting the monitor, but eventually gave up. The problem occurs in both text and graphical modes. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty. Optimist: The glass is half full.
