problem with geforce cards + amd thunderbirds???

[Zedfu]

guys, i've heard stories about amd related products not being compatible with geforce2mx cards, and don't know whether it's true or not...
if anyone had experienced anything of this sort, then post something on here.

I have a Tbird 800 on an Asus A7V with a Geforce2 GTS. No problems so far. The stability has impressed me and I no longer fear VIA&AMD

My T-bird 900+ Via(MSI K7T PRO BOARD)& Geforce2 MX have no problems,there are some problems I`ve read with KT133 chipset & Detonator3,the solution is simple use Detonator2 drivers or wait for the next driver update from Nvidia(which will fix the problem)I` also believe the latest Detonator3 6.26/27 beta drivers work ok.

alright, but i've also heard about people not being able to boot into quake3 'cause of the lock up. any of you ever experienced that before?

No, to your question,btw I`m a gamer so stability is very important(100% on stability on games running perfect so far).

Q3 is more stable on my Tbird/A7V/Geforce2 setup than it was with my Celeron2/Abit BH6/Geforce2. I am using the Detonator 6.26.

UT (after a bit of tweaking to eliminate the mouse lag problem) is very fast. My method of benchmarking is to load up 10 bots and play a CTF match to 10 flags. Then I record min,ave,and max framerates. This might sound silly, but I have found it to produce logical (and real-world) results. The minimum framerate (what matters to me) rose from 30-32 on the Celeron 800 to 42-44 on the Tbird 950.

Sometimes I really wonder the cause of the problems tha other people see.
