8800 GTS Driver Issue

[nqbus]

All,

Just upgraded 90% of my system. New Asus AM2 Crosshair Mobo, 2GB OCZ Titanium DDR2 800 RAM, an AMD 5200+ 64-bit dual core processor, and today the eVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640mb card.

My OS is Windows XP Pro, but I'm being told there is a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version. When I d/l the new nvidia drivers for XP, I get a hardware conflict from the vid card. Only way I was able to overcome this was to d/l the Windows XP Media Edition drivers for the 8800 GTS. Does this sound right?

Thanks for your time.

hardware conflict...? well, the xp home/pro/mce versions (i think) are all the same...

The correct drivers for the 8800GTS/GTX are listed as "XP Media center/Home/Pro" on Nvidia's website.

Don't let the "64" in your processor name fool you. Having an Athlon 64 does not mean you are to use 64-bit drivers. You could run a 64-bit OS with your processor, but it sounds as if you have the 32-bit version of XP. That's why it works with those drivers.
