as far as I know double buffering consumes more memory (don't know if 
it's video or system memory though, I presume video-ram). I have a NV28 
(GeForce Go 4200 TI) using the 9631 proprietary nvidia drivers. It may 
well be a driver issue, since it's known that these drivers have a 
broken turbo-cache(tm) implementation. The drivers are properly 
installed and the simple glxgears benchmark reports ~1200FPS (normal for 
this GPU and setup)

I don't have a good set of 3D apps to test. The games I've tested thus 
far fail completely. I've only managed to have 3DMark2001SE working 
(with few hiccups), but I have to disable "double buffering" otherwise 
its rendered useless (it only manages to complete one or two frames per 
test)

thank you,
