103620 2002-12-05 13:45:00 Hi all. I have Asus GeForce 256 Graphics card installed (v6600 SDRAM v 3.75) It's fairly old & basic & I've had it for about 3 years. I need to know if I can install "Detonator Drivers" to it, would I gain anything by doing so? If so, where to get them from? Running 98SE. P111, 500, 160 MB Ram
Reason for asking, having OSD, fatal exception troubles, thought to try new drivers!

You can get it here (www.nvidia.com)

yea right. it can also be "up to 20% DECREASE by useing dets". it all depends on which ones you use with what card.

my suggestion is to check out ASUS site first. asus are well known for tweaking out video bios and drivers. try asus first and then nvida's generic drivers if need be. just a word of warning- the ver of dets before the latest ones used to crash out a few programs. i havn't tested the latest ones to see if they still do it.

otherwise post details of the error messages as it may not be anything to do with video drivers.
