Fuck, YEAH!

Fixed my computer. It was the TNT2, go figure.

Using Paul's ATI Rage II Pro Turbo, it's not a bad card. Sure it's not a 3D super performer, but in the winxp gui I can't tell the difference between it and the nvidia card.

Yay! I'm so happy, all my data is here and just dandy.

Happy happy happy.

So uhm... What are you going to do with that extra TNT2, eh?

Dude, it's broke.

Hmm...
That would pose an issue now wouldn't it?

I had all sorts of winxp issues with Nvidia. Random spontaneous reboots, total lock ups, system freezes...every time the system would come up with it's "Let us email a report, you experienced a fatal system error caused by NVIDIA" :P

XP and Nvidia

ARGH. Exactly! I had so many fucking issues with Nvidia and XP. I have a Geforce2 MX and I downloaded the new drivers etc..and it was just random freezes..etc..a couple clean installs.


Back to win2k. Though civ 3 just won't not crash. There are a lot of problems with that and my computer so I just play it downstairs on win98.

I don't have the driver version here, but I found an older driver worked MUCH better than the newer one. I'll try to find it when I go home in an hour and post it

Really? Hmm, my card seemed to work flawlessly until one day. The card still powers up, the broken fan turns on and makes a racket. I figure this one just fried.
