You probably have a 10mbit standard HUB. To get a fastar LAN connection you'll need a switched 10mbit HUB or even an 100mbit HUB.
With 10mbit NICs and 10mbit HUB things tend to lag a bit.

I have an old LeadTek TNT2U card with TV-out which is very good. A friend of mine has got an even older ATI Card, and the quality of the tv-out can not be called quality.

Hey.
I have an Epox mb which i've never experienced any probs with.
Just that some ram's won't work any good with it, but i just changed to other models of ram. works fine now.

I also have an older disk, Quantum Fireball4.3gb, which i've never had any probs with. But it's old and only 4500rpm.
