True, I experience more sound glitch then video glitch. Could it be partly solved by putting a better sound board? |

Your graphics card is good enough, it's your CPU that will slow you down. |

I'm not sure what the correlation is, if some video cards use less CPU resources somehow but it definitely can make a difference. I've had video cards that wouldn't display the proper resolutions or wouldn't display vertical. I've also had video cards which made the games run slower. |

I use Donkey Kong, Galaga 88 and Rayforce as test games. If they have no sound hiccups, the machine is fast enough for my taste. |
