It might be the chipset on your motherboard. A friend has an All in Wonder
on a MSI motherboard with an nVida chipset with poor results. No problem
when he replaced the ATI with a GeForce card. The All in Wonder was put
into anther MSI motherboard with a VIA chipset and it worked fine.
Good Luck - Dennis
