In my eXPerience using Windows XP, i have found that the Det. 12.41 WHQL's for Win2k seem to work the best. What are your thoughts?

Well, for the Max Payne, theres a patch (version 1.01), to deal with this issue. But when it's happen under 3DMark, in my system, when I overclock too much the memory... ;(
ok check this out... i decided to uninstall xp and put 2k on it to see if there was a difference in how the drivers work...it sure fooled me...ok my tnt2 m64 card will only work with 6.3.4-6.1.8 drivers but they will work for about a minute then freeze..anything driver below will just freeze when 2k loads up..any driver higher will just load the vga drivers and wont load the monitor..same thing it did in XP..! y does this happen to me??? all i want is just for this card to work so i can play my Unreal Tournament,Fifa 2001,and GTA 2.. oh yea i forgot when i goto screensavers and click on the 2d flower box or anything that has opengl it freezes.. i even tried to disable drect3d and directdraw and still no difference..please someone save me b4 i lose my temper and seriously blow up my computer
Yeah, I'd stick with Nvidia right now. My Voodoo 3 ran slick as ice in Beta 2, but since 3dfx cards have been dropped from XP, I had to get a GF2 card. The MX200 runs like hell--slower in Win2k, but runs flawlessly in XP. I'm probably gonna get my money back and get a regular MX tho. In case I don't get XP right away when it comes out, that is.
Looks like it's mostly a big boost for the lucky dogs with the GF3's, but I'll still be able to grab them shortly after I get my GF2Pro:D

Ok, I can understand all the speed freaks into benchmarks. But I wish someone would also start telling me what the differences are between the driver sets. WHAT is the 12 series, what is different with the 14 series, and then why suddenly new 8 series appear? Which are best for DX8? Which are best for D3D? I don't really play much in OGL, as I got into Rainbow6 Urban Ops, and now the new Operation Flashpoint - all D3D games.
Currently, as I have a Leadtech board (2-GTS), I found they had 12.60 based drivers and am using those for Win2K. But it seems my desktop and applications are very slow. I am using an Intel PIII 933 on a genuine Intel D815EEA mobo.

If you go to www.m3dzone.com you can download the .pdf's for the drivers. They tell which set is for which...although the 8 dets are missing from the .pdf's.
