Can Somebody please please help.
Getting Corrupt GFX and textures in Unreal 2, Splinter cell and 3DMark03 to name a few and im tearing my hair out!!

System Spec
Athlon XP 1800+ (1.5GHz)
Via Apollo pro KT266a (266fsb) (Latest 4in1 Hyperion Drivers)
256mb PC2100 DDR Ram
Radeon 8500le 64mb with CAT3.2 Drivers

This is very fustrating as my rig is very speedy (NO Overclocking) but alot of games especially Unreal 2 just crap textures and bad graphical corruption....any advice please

maybe it's cause your card is only 64mb? what do you guys think?

should not have anything to do with ram size
in bios, turn fast write on, and cache to 128mb

do dxdiag in run and see if it shows any errors
it could be your card overheating due to bad ventilation in your case

Thanks for the Advice however in the Bios my fastwrites are enabled and my AGP Apeture Size is 128Mb, no problems in DXDiag at all.
Also other games such as Max Payne and SOF II run no problem. If it was the card overheating then i think id notice it with all Apps.

This Issue could well be Software, I have also tried CAT 2.5 and 3.1 Drivers and the outcome is the same - PLEASE HELP anyone..

Cheers - Magpie

I know for a fact, Max Payne and 3dmark use D3D.

actually I think all of those do.
