    I bought a 17 inch viewmaster with 3ms and when I watch movies my screen still separates when panning across. What could be the problem? When I take it down to 100 percent the screen is fine, but when I put it to 200 it separates, and full screen...well, the screen skips frames.

    Intel Celeron CPU 2.6
    192 MB or RAM

    I think I know the problem. I am using the stock video card, that could be it. What would be a good card to get where I can watch fast video with no break ups?

    Sorry, i'm a newbie.

    6600GT is a good card, mid-range that's a great card to go for, some people suggest the X800 series but the 6600GT will do you fine.

    What do you use your computer for? 512 total is probably plenty unless you use it for specific things like games.

    I thought you bought a 6600GT?
    It's not a 3.3V card!
    What motherboard do you have?
