 Hossa Ram,

Have the Asus TNT2 Ultra myself and it works great (with asus drivers)+W95b+ DX6.1

Be pretty sure u deleted all of old video drivers, thats very important.
Ask your friends if someone owns the Norton Utilities + intall it. It helps me a lot.

Hope u don't have to give the format c: command (me did it a hundred times until i was able to build  stable systems  

Feel with you

Thanks all for tips...but the story is over. This morning I went to the shop and they helped me a lot. I tried a Voodoo3 3000, the system kept locking. Seems that what happened was that my motherboard has a x1 AGP slot...and V3 uses x2 while TNT2 uses x4.

So no Graphic card for me...Instead I took a new HD...but my framerate will suck forever  

Thank you to all for your help. See yah in the skies.

Actually Dhdog, it was not HP that was in the running for the business, it was Motorola, but they could not get the 68000 ready in the time frame IBM wanted it.
They missed the window by 45 days or we would be in a Motorola world, instead of this "lack of intel" world.
Heck, the Z80 outperformed the 8088 processor.  The PC world took a major step backwards on that fateful day and it is still recovering.

Many of you would argue my statement,....I have a system I designed and built in 1988, using a 68040 Motorola processor and 32MB or memory.  It will still compile the Linux OS faster than my 600Mhz PIII w/256MB SD100 ram.
How much faster?  Almost twice as fast.  Mind boggling.....12 years later and Intel has yet to match that system.  PUPPIES!

Somebody mentioned V-Synch in the thread above.

I advise you not to mess with you V-Synch settings!  Although turning V-Synch off will speed up your framerate a bit, it can also impact the hit detection the FE does.  In several instances turning V-Synch OFF resulted in the rubber bullet syndrome.  Folks were seeing lots of hit sprites, but not getting kills because the hit detection was messed up.  This is all pureley speculation, but several folks reported the problem went away when the ENABLED V-Synch again.  

By default, V-Synch is enabled in your card drivers. If you have messed with it, ensure V-Synch is ENABLED, at least for playing AH.

(Somebody sneak into Torque's place and disable V-synch will ya?)

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"
