Re: FLASH: SWFs dragging on Athlon 600

[Joe Dames]

Have you installed the latest driver for the Voodoo 3 Video Card?  Have you

recently built this system or was it a previously well functioning system?

Is your system crashing or anything else weird?

Subject: FLASH: SWFs dragging on Athlon 600



I have an Athlon 600, 320 megs RAM, Voodoo 3 Video card, running win98 and I

can't get Flash files to play at a reasonable rate. I can even watch MR.

WONG! I'm using a broadband connection, and am sure it's not a download

issue. Even very small flash files with little animation are painfully slow.

I've also upgraded to the latest pluging with no visible improvement. Is

this an Athlon issue or perhaps a system problem? Anyone ever had this

problem? I've had better flash experiences with much oldr, slower machines.


Thanks for any help,

Mick
