3D related crashes
The GeForce MX card is in and working brilliantly. I have tested it using Final Reality benchmark (I bit old now but this guaranteed a freeze in 3D when on the BX2000+ in 30 seconds), and had it running for an hour and no freezing. It would seem another cause was the problem and not the powersupply in this case.

To me, videos (mpg's, avi's) look much better now on the FX5900 than they did on the older Geforce cards, especially when viewed at full resolution. Even highly compressed videos seem sharp with little or no artifacts or blockiness. Anyone else notice this? Is there something new in the FX cards that supports this?

Fw: Video card suggestion
No luck. Then I spent 5 hours expanding my WinXP partition to make room so I could try it there. Looks a bit more promising. One crash so far.

GA-6BXDU and Nvidia Geforce video cards
Which is the better GeForce 2 MX card? Are the older GeForce 256 cards as good as the GeForce MX version? I notice that this seems to be a trend with graphics chip manufactures. They release an economic version of the latest chip that's crippled, and it turns out to be no better than the last chip generation's full

Best Drivers for older GeForce 2 and 3 ?
I have read some post somewhere, that some folks seem to think that the older GeForce 256 cards have somewhat of a different power requirement than the newer ones and thus are more prone to problems. Don't quote me on that as I am just passing on someone elses post and have no factual data whatsoever to back this

Planning an upgrade...
Since I now have a job, live at home, and therefore have no bills to pay (yet), I can finally afford to purchase hardware that is top-of-the-line now, not 6 months - 1 Or would it be easier to just purchase an older ATI card to replace the older GeForce card? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

I use a dual head GeForce2MX and one of the older GeForce 256 DDR cards on my systems. After applying Softquadro, they perform identically to the ELSA quadro 64MB of DDR RAM unlike the Gloria which only has SDRAM :-) GeForce 3 cards are great for gaming no question here but they aren't great for everyday use.

Building a system for a buddy this weekend -- need advice
I have tried various AGP aperture settings but no difference. Any ideas or other known issues here with the BX2000+ board? Prior to the GeForce I was using an tried and have success with a Geforce2 MX card as it's current requirements are considerably lower than the older Geforce 256 cards and the geforce2 GTS.

crazy a$$ problem
I have an older Geforce 4 mx420 and it works fine in another machine with DX8.1, if the card does not support DX9 it might be better to use the version of DX the card Device Manager shows no yellow warning triangles and says everything is working OK.

Remove NVIDIA Drivers
I have an older geforce 4 ti4400 128mb card that I put back in to see if something was wrong with my newer card, but I got the same exact problem. the only drivers that worked for that card was the ones provided on the CD that came with the card and are not MS signed. no drivers I download from nvidai will work.

I wasn't expected that !
By the way, there's NO reason to refresh at more than 85Hz. i have a geforce and put off buying it cos of just that, the 2d qualtiy, but when i finaly got one (GTS 2) it's fine they must have done something about 2d qualtiy now, i'd still be iffy about buying an older geforce though.

FS: CHANGED IBM (Lenovo) Thinkpad X40 NEAR-NEW PRISTINE ...
Some old Geforce cards used the same chip as early Xbox units. They have EXCELLENT S-Video Tv-out clarity. These days, ATI and Geforce are using their own on-chip solutions for TV out, and the results are pretty much horrible across the board. The sad truth is: no matter how expensive your graphics card,

Which 17'' Monitor to choose (not a Flatron...)
Invest more in RAM (minimum 128, the more the merrier) and a good 3D card, such as Voodoo 5 or GeForce Ultra, or one of the older GeForce ones. Don't pick an older Voodoo card if you want good graphics, as they for some weird reason don't support 32-bit colours. Daywanderer -- Field Reporter, Weapons/Mission

GeForceDDR or GeForce2MX?
Some of the older Geforce video card drivers are known to cause a shutdown delay in XP, but not 3 mintues worth. More like an extra 15 seconds or so. Nonetheless, if you have an Nvidia card in your machine, try disabling the Nvidia driver helper service, and see if it helps. It can always be re-enabled if it has no
