AMD 1700+CPU
512 MB RAM

Could you be so kind and help me?

Thank you PACi

Hi pacaj2am

The Warning you're getting in your log file - "Could not verify AGP usage", would most likely be caused by a buggy installer from the nVidia site. If you download and use the installer from http://www.sh.nu/download/nvidia/linux-2.4/, it has this AGP problem fixed.

I had the same problem, and this fixed my performance bottleneck.

Why there have to be such an unofficial driver, which works... Hey, guys from NVidia, where's the problem?
