I am about to try out a GF2 MX card before purchasing said item (hopefully
to increase performance in N4 & GPL). My system specs are PII 450, 128MB
ram, 12MB Voodoo2 (PCI), 8MB STB nVidia ZXV (AGP).
What drivers should I download to try out my mate's card? I think the card
is a PowerColor?? It is a GF2 MX with 32MB SDR ram. Where should I be
looking for the drivers? nvidia.com?? I have heard about some Detonator 6.50
(6.52) drivers, and also some Detonator3 12.41 drivers. Which are the ones I
should download?
The card I plan on replacing is the STB nVidia (of course!). I thought I
should completely un-install the old card before installing the new nVidia
card. Of course the Voodoo2 is a 3D-only card, so I won't be able to do
that. Right?? Any hints/tips or web sites to view to help me with
instructions on the 'change-over' would be really appreciated.
One more question... My AGP slot is only x2 (i.e. not x4). I realize that
it will probably impact pretty heavily on the performance, but is there any
other problems I may come up against?
Once again. TIA.

I use a 32mb GTS and saw much improved performance over the original drivers.

12.90 are slightly faster and just as stable.

but 14.10 solved an incompatibility with my AMD chipset board and *my*
powercolor gf2mx card, so I vote for them :)
you can find them at www.nvmax.com
good luck :)
