    Geforce 2 Ti drivers: old system

    vss1980, the performance gain with the old 7.58 - 8.05 detonators is related to the socket7 platform. New dets do not work as well with my chipset (Ali V), resulting in lower performance. The latest dets give better performance with games using directx 8, but just a little. You say that it...

    Geforce 2 Ti drivers: old system

    Hi, I bought a Asus GF2Ti 64MBDDR recently for my old socket 7 system. It works great, but... can I only use detonator drivers 14.x and up? older dets do not recognise the Ti and only give GF2, GF2 GTS and GF@ ultra as install options... I tried to install dets 8.05 (among the best for my...

    does Graphics Card help DivX?

    Well, I tried installing divx 4.11.... that was no good; video looks good but the audio has a delay.... and still 100% CPU usage.... I changed back to 3.11, it works the best! I'll borow a GF2 GTS form a friend... lets try out if it makes any difference (without IDCT)! BHard

    does Graphics Card help DivX?

    Hi, I know about the divx codec... fastmotion, slowmotion. Most movies play well on my rig, but I can see it is on the limit. CPU usage is 100%, responsiveness gets very bad and such... the problem is not the quality of the movies. They all (few exeptions) should play without any problem...

    System restarts instead of Shutting Down??

    Hi, in win2k, that's quite a common fenomenon. Your computer is probably configured as a 'Standard PC' instead of a 'ACPI compliant PC'. You can not fix that...only a reinstall of win2k will do. during the install, press F6 when (at the bottom of the screen) they ask to press F5 for SCSI...
