After Installing the Drivers

You will have completed the most important steps once the Installation Guide has piloted
you safely through the hazards of driver installation. Your operating system knows about
the Erazor, the ELSA drivers are installed and ...

It's Time to Get Moving!

We have a tip for you at this point: A few minutes' patience will pay for themselves. Take
a few moments' time to optimize your system settings. Your eyes will thank you for it
and you will certainly enjoy playing games and working on your computer much more.

In this chapter you will learn:

What is the maximum resolution I can get from my system?

What color depth should I use?

How frequently should the monitor redraw itself?

This chapter is divided up into operating systems to allow us to answer these questions
for you as simply as possible. Turn straight to the heading for your operating system. You
will find everything you need there. The software you need will be on the WINNERware
CD – unless it is already included in the operating system
.
