    I now recall that I let WinMe put the chipset drivers in...got the VIA 4in1 drivers from the Shuttle site and now the only discrepancy between Everest and the BIOS is Fast Write disabled (Everest) and it shows enabled in the BIOS. Thanks for the troubleshooting. Doug

    Best drivers for old card...GF2 GTS?

    Thanks, Mem...I'm using win98se so 45.23 are the latest. With 45.23, 3dmark2001.build330 won't even run - returns error code D3Derror_invalidcall. It will run with 41.09 (returning a whopping 2469)

    Best drivers for old card...GF2 GTS?

    Have an old GF2 GTS. Is it normally best to go with the latest drivers....45.23? Is there another driver between 40.xx and 44.xx that works better? Or is it trial and error with different drivers for one specific rig? Thanks, Doug
