Hi,

I just wanted to know, if I am temporarily using a 32MB video card as my regular 128MB is being repaired. I wanted to know, will this slow down my applications?


thx,
Joe

I guess that depends on if your applications are graphics intensive.
If not, then no, it won't slow your applications.

We would definitely need to know what applications you are talking about. Since most apps/processes/utilities that run in Windows are only 2D intensive, then chances are you won't notice any difference.

I am running temporarily a 32MB video card on windows xp pro. For some reason, outlook express, among other applications take a while to load.

I did not have this problem when I had my 128 MB video card, and just wanted to know whether the video card was the problem and/or is there anythig I could do to fix it?

thx,
Joe

make sure your agp aperture is set to 32mb in the cmos. this might help. for sure a 32mb card is going to do everything slower graphically then the 128.
