What video card(s) are you using?

I have Win2K and EQ on a test machine with an ATI Rage 3d AGP 2X GT-CZUZ and
the display is 99% unplayable (constant, very bad, flickering.)

Did you have to do anything to get Direct X 7a installed?

My system:
P3-450
256MB ram
SCSI U2W harddrives
Diamond Viper 770 agp
SB Live! value

I installed W2k in a new drive. Hit the MS website and found 2 hot fixes
available for download :) After installing EQ I launched it and got a
message saying that no 3D device was found. So I headed over the the Nvidia
website and downloaded the newest W2K drivers for the TNT-2. Installed the
Nvidia reference drivers and it fired up just fine. I am having some sound
problems though. The sounds are way too load, esp in 3D sound mode. It is
do bad I have had to bump my sounds realism down to shut off 3D sound, as
people walking by me are deafening. I checkd the SB Live! site and there
are no new drivers yet for W2k. Overall it was a pretty painless upgrade
and it installed alot faster then I thought it would.
