I got this card a few days ago, it replaced an Audigy2 in my gaming system. The Audigy2's drivers had driven me crazy, the card is good, the drivers are horrible. As for the Mad Dog, it is an awesome card. I have a Revo 7.1 in another machine and had actually gone to buy another only to find...

I had very similiar problems on 2 mb's and it turned out to be a bad powersupply. 300 watts isn't enough for what your running either.

You're having the great ACPI/Win 2k problem. The card will work fine but you'll have to change the computer from ACPI to Standard PC. On the front page of AT there is a FAQ section that addresses the ACPI question. With my computer, I got stuttering in Unreal Tournament from it and we tried...

Twice in the last 3 weeks I have started my computer only to get a message that my configuration file is corrupted and to insert the disc and run repair on it. The problem is when I run repair that it say's there is no win 2k on the disc, and I don't know how to fix this in the manual mode. 2...

Actually I have run 12.41, 14.xx, and 21.81 and they all did the same thing, except the 21.81 had MUCH richer color and a little better detail. With better pic quality, I really didn't care if they were faster. I got the answer on the HardOCP forums though. It is the ACPI of Win 2k! Once I...

There is a "compatibility" download for games on MS's site that I downloaded. So far it's now running just about the same as ME and there are so many more advantages to 2K, I'll live with it. Jeff

I did try to set the rate to 100, but the USB connection was a little better. Sadly though, still somewhat choppy. Hopefully I'm not expecting too much, but with the GF2 set at 215 / 460 I really thought the Win 2K would do it. Unfortunately, really the only game that doesn't run well is the...

I switched from a Radeon to a GF2 Pro/450 1 week after I got Win 2K. I tried EVERYTHING (that I could find) because I liked the Radeon, but the Win 2K drivers are really sub-par. The Geforce Pro besides being faster, has really good Win 2K drivers and at least the one I got - Gainward Pro/450...

I have a Gainward GF2 Pro/450 on an Epox 8K7A, 1.4 tbird, 512mb DDR, TB Santa Cruz, burner, DVD, Intel NIC, Antec SX1040B, and Sony 19". I have been running Win ME and UT runs incredible (I run it at 1024X768X32) with all the goodies on. I recently went to Win 2k (the reason I switched from a...

I have a Gainward GF2 Pro/450 on a Epox 8K7A, 1.4 tbird, 512mb Crucial DDR, Fortissimo II sound, WD 40 gig 7200rpm, 12X burner, 16X DVD, Intel NIC, Antec SX1040B case w/400watt ps. This card is trying to replace a Radeon (that sucks in Win 2K, but that's another story) that ran rock stable...

I need help with my Radeon running on Windows 2000. This is a LE flashed to a DDR on an Epox 8K7A, 1.4 t-bird, 512mb crucial DDR, Fortissimo II sound, burner, dvd, ...... It runs fine under ME, benches good, runs Unreal Tournament well ( I play this daily, and host a server about 4 nights a...

I have a Radeon currently in my system, but just saw on the order tracking at Newegg that my Gainward Pro/450 shipped today! The Radeon does have a great picture, but in Win 2K the speed sucks! I play Unreal Tournament, Q3, Colin Mcrae 2, Serious Sam, and they all play alright under 98 or ME...
