Actually I know exactly what he is talking about. I have an intel express 3D
i740 card (4mb) and it does the same thing-- smooth scrolling is sometimes
jerky for no reason. My Riva ZX card doesn't do this...

Yeah that would be some serious slowness there. Even on my original S3 Virge
(not even VX/DX/GX/GX2) with just 4Mb RAM, mIRC is smooth as hell. But then
again, that doesn't say much. Any video card at all would run mIRC smoothly.
