Disappointed in my Individual MK2cr

IMHO I haven't had to use a PAL mode in I can't even remember how long. I guess for some old games and such, but WHDLoad takes care of that. Are you sure your monitor supports 50Hz screenmodes?

I don't understand the other questions you're asking. Maybe the card is overheating, or not seated properly? Many users install a fan if using a desktop A1200 chassis. Do a google image search for ideas on fan mounting.

The config tool for the AGA version is a lot more fussy than the ECS version, but have you tried fiddling with that?

There should be no problem with changing between NTSC and PAL screenmodes. What happens when you try?

I run os3.9 and I want to preserve chipmem, can I use fblit or another tool so the higher resolution doesn't eat up all my chipmem?

I noticed I have tried it, seeing the "simplegels" etc at the end of my ss, but I only have 900k chipmem after entering wb.

Any tips to this?

This question really needs another thread.  And also more details.  On a properly configured OS 3.9 machine without a graphics card and with a decent amount of fast ram, I normally average 75%-85% of chip mem free.  That's with a decently high resolution selected, 16 color Workbench, GlowIcons and color wallpaper.

Just throwing that number out there but your question doesn't help at all.  For starters you'd need to say what resolution you're using.  I.e., obviously if you're using something like 1024x768x256 colors, you can't expect to have much chip mem free!

@Mike and Thomas:

AAAAHHH. :mad:

Switch to the Peter K. icon library (faster icon display, better color quality, less memory usage).  Use Env-Handler (so that items are loaded into memory as they're used, rather than all at once).  Install the latest version of TLSFMem as early in the startup sequence as you can (to prevent memory fragmentation).

There's literally about 98345793875 other things you can do.  What tweaks and hacks/patches you install depend on your personal tastes and requirements.

Research the forums and if you're unfamiliar with 3.9, read this entire FAQ:  http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/os39faq.html

Lastly, after you've done all the above, start your own thread instead of hijacking this guy's.  :p
