[ILUG] P2 400MHz too slow for video?

A quick update. I didn't think the Nvidia kernel and openGL driver worked
with this card. However, I realised they would and tried them. The video
is now far better. I can use the -framedrop switch and it's approaching
watchable but sound gets quite crackley. I suspect the bus hogging thing
may be correct. Apparently Xv was not supported by the nv driver. It
works now (not to mention X is much quicker and I get a nvidia splash
screen starting X).
I think the sound card is probably causing the problem now. I'm going to
try and get my hands ona better supported sound acrd at least for a trial.
Will let you know how it goes.
incidentally, the chipset is a Intel 440BX by the looks of it.
$ cat /proc/pci
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 0, function 0:
Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev
2).
Master Capable. Latency=64.

Thanks again for all help,
