The Detonator 2 drivers are your best bet,unless you want to try the new beta Detonator 3 (6.26,6.27) anyway I`m using the Detonator 2 Drivers until the official release of the next Detonator 3 drivers on my MSI K7T PRO board(KT133)with Geforce2 MX ,btw rock solid no problems.You can get the Drivers from here Drivers Detonator 2 & 3 Btw I`m using the old 5.22 drivers until the next official release.

I'm using a 440 BX mobo with a Daytona GF2 MX.I couldn't run any DirectX or OpenGL app on the 6.18 and the 6.27,6.28 drivers.When I used the 5.32 drivers, everything worked like a charm.Thanks to Mem.

I'd love to use the new 6.xx drivers.Anyone experienced hard lockups when running 3D apps on 6.18+ drivers?

Award bios dated 7/26/2000
EpoX 61-BxA-M intel 440 BX chipset
Intel PII 400 Mhz
128 MB PC100 memory
Daytona Geforce2 MX 32 MB 6ns SDRAM (175/166 clocks)
Sidebanding disabled
all video shadowing in bios disabled
running at AGP 2X
AGP aperature size tried 128, 64, and 256
lowered hardware acceleration tab in windows one notch to the back
tried above configuration with 6.18 and 6.27

no luck with 6.xx drivers! :(

Out of curiousity, I'm overclocking my MX (core: 180 Mhz - Memory 172 MHz), more than 172 Mhz and I get decals and small colored blobs.Windows Mouse cursors have some extra lines on them.

Any help is appreciated, regarding the new drivers or overclocking the MX! :)
