I have a new system.  It is not a wimpy system but when I play the Half Life
Day One demo that came with my Monster Sound MX300, it crawls like a worm. 
It is very sluggish responding to my keyboard.	Is it the system?  The
graphics? It looks beautiful but trying to do anything is impossible.  I have
to hold the key down for a second or more before it starts responding.	By
then it has so many keystrokes in the queue I have to wait for it to clear
out.

I have a ASUS P2D-DS motherboard, P2 450MHz, 128MB SDRAM, Quantum3D Obsidian2
X- 24 accelerator, Hercules Dynamite TNT.  This thing just burns through
anything I have tried so far (half life demo is the only game I have tried).

Any hints/tips on how to configure my video cards would be appreciated.  I am
new to the world of 3D cards/accelerators.

Thank you!

Michael
