Windows XP 64 and a Geforce 3 Ti500

[Alphacowboy]

Been a LONG time since I have been here!!!

Anyway, just loaded Windows XP64 Pro on my newly built PC, but I decided to stick with the ol' Ti500 for now as it worked fine for what I used it for. BUT, I cant find drivers for it! Nvidia's site has been no help and the last driver download "81.85_winxp2k_64bit_english" does not have the Geforce3 chipsets listed at all. is there a driver out there for this, or am I SOL?

Thanks,

Matt

I think you're SOL. I did a google search and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue. Might be a good time to upgrade

the 5200 would in no way be an upgrade, lmao. If you game then don't bother upgrading and stick with the currently more stable windows xp 32- the final of Vista should address these problems, otherwise I'd definently move to a better gpu now. I used windows xp 64 and with all the problems I had I can strongly say that you'll be better on 32 for now.

well, dumped the TI500 for a GeForce 6600 256MB AGP video card!

I have a copy of Win XP 64-bit that I used for about 2 days ($150 well spent) a few months ago, but haven't bothered to try it out recently. How recent were your bad experiences with it? I imagine that things should improve the closer we get to Vista.
