The fact that I can't play Freelancer on it anymore, yet can play a bunch of other games including Unreal Tournament, could be considered a contributing factor.
If anyone knows the magic incantations to make a GeForce4 Ti4600 work with a VIA KT133 chipset (including the infamous 686B southbridge) and Windows 2000 (and by work, I mean fully functioning fullscreen games in OpenGL and DirectX), I'll be eternally grateful. (well, not really, as this piece of junk will have its last original parts replaced in a few years anyway, but I'll still be grateful for... about 5 minutes into Freelancer).
