To tell the truth I'm seriously considering switching to any other drivers out there, since sigma 3.1 just doesn't cut it, most games seemed to get slower, video playback is not so great, but I'm not sure what to do. I can't use alpha since it has that weird lagging issue along with not enabling aero which basically kills the gma 950. While many think aero is just transparent windows, its much more than that, and one of the reasons I only had xp for 2 hours.
If only microsoft had released sp5 for windows 2000... Seriously, the only jump worthwhile aside the win 3.1/3.11 to win98 se was from windows 2000 to the vista/7 architecture. I just hate xp to its core. Although my hatred might have begun because creative forced me to use xp or the audigy drivers would cut my rear channels. Heck, my win98/ win2000 dual boot just did everything, really good memories there. I guess I'll wait for Angelic's V1.2, as well as being on the lookout for any other thing that might come up... Oh, and I still hope anyone might help with the video playback issue.
