Bad Ping after installing Riva TNT2 32MB AGP

[old.Kaputt]

Hi all !

How come my ping increased to about 2000-5000 after installing a Riva TNT2 32MB AGP into my computer ? First I used an Elsa Victory Erazor 4MB, the ping was at about 200 each game. I am using ISDN so the connection-speed should not be the problem at all.

Installing the latest Detonators (21.81) lowered the ping for some time of gaming, but it heavily decreased my available system memory ! Running UT brought down my system memory to 0 MB and my HD started swapping.

I changed to Detonator-version 12.41 again - no problems with memory, but the ping ...

Any ideas ?

My system specs :

AMD K6-2 550 MHz
256 MD SD-RAM 100
FIC VA-503+ mainboard with VIA-chipset
256 MB SDRAM 100 MHz
Windows 98 (same problem with Windows ME)
DirectX 8.0
Sedlbauer Teledat 100 ISDN-Card (on PCI port)

Changing the game resolution did not lower my ping and no other programs are running in the background.

I`ve never heard of a video card limmiting or effecting ping. What kind of a connection do you have?? 56K? DSL? and what OS do you run??

I have 64K ISDN and Windows 98 SE running ...
