Hi there,
Ok, I am planning on purchasing a geforce4 ti4200 64mb card for my system in late may/early june(i suppose it also depends on how available they will be once they are released as to when I get it) to replace the geforce2 gts 32mb i currently have in my rig. The 4200's look like they will be an awesome deal. Now, I recently installed Windows XP Pro on my machine(fresh install, formatted clean and all), and I am still using the 12.41 drivers as anything higher gives my problems with infinite loop errors and instability(I always had better luck with 12.41 in Windows 98 SE, which I had before, as well). Now, the main reason I'm upgrading the video card is I want a small speed increase, it's a relatively cheap upgrade, and just to have a newer video card for games(*drools* waiting for Morrowind). However, since the geforce4 cards can only use the newer Nvidia driver sets, I was wondering if I have the chance of running into the same infinite loop errors that I have if I use the newer drivers on my geforce 2. I am hoping that someone out there has upgraded from a geforce 2 to one of the available geforce 4's and has had an experience to share? To help, here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon Thunderbird 900 Mhz
ASUS A7V motherboard(VIA KT133 Chipset)
384MB Crucial PC133 SDRAM
IBM Deskstar 75GXP 30GB Drive
3Com 3905B PCI NIC
Creative Labs Annihilator 2(Geforce 2 GTS) 32MB AGP Video Card
Creative Labs 8x Encore DVD Drive w/ Dxr3 Decoder Card
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer
Plextor 12/10/40A CD-RW Drive
Heh, I know my system may seem slow compared to the speed demons out there now, as I built this a little over a year and a half ago, so it has served me well thus far. Anyways, I was hoping that others could help me by sharing their experiences with the geforce4's and any problems they have had.
Thanks!
