I was looking for opinions on the best drivers for this 32M card?
I am currently running 12.41's on Win98 (not ME or SE)
I am on a P3 700 with 256M ram main games are GPL and N4 SCGT etc.
I was hoping to pick up some fps in GPL realizing that a 1.6G processor
would be nice...but out of the question at the moment.

Hi Greg,
I have the MX200 64meg card. In 2000 I ran the 21.xx (can't remember
exactly) and they worked great and picked up about 10% performace. I
haven't tried the latest 23.xx so can't comment.
I'm now running XP.. lovin it.

they were (the 20+ level of drivers) written and optimized for the GF3/64MB
based cards and may not work the best for GF2s, especially the low end ones
like the MX models with 32MB of RAM.
The guru3d site went down, but if you could find a site that has some of the
drivers above 12.41 but below 20.xx, I'd try those. When I had a GF2MX400 (a
64MB MX card), I had the best performance with the 17.xx and 18.xx drivers.
For a GF 3 and XP, I would recommend the 23.11's, thats what I have and use
and they are just fine in everything I run (including old titles like GPL
and NASCAR Legends).

I've got an MX400 and the 23.11 drivers work very well. I found that the
21.85 drivers were slower than the 12.90 ones.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I went with the 21.83's...of course now
when I hit "shutdown the computer" it hangs up and wont power down....dont
know whats up there?
I appreciate the tips, thanks again.
