Question for John Lewis, or anyone else who cares to reply :)
What do you think of the 56.64 Forceware drivers for the GeForce FX 5700
series cards, and how good are the current 56.72 Windows 2000/XP drivers with the same series of card? Any specific issues with newer or older games? How do nVidia's video card drivers compare to ATI's nowadays? Thanks! |

Oops, when I mentioned the 56.64 drivers, I meant for Windows 98/ME, as
those are the newest ones available right now for those OS's. |

Not qualified to comment on the FX5700, but the 56.72 drivers are stellar under WinXP on the FX5900. Bypassed the 56.64 drivers.............. John Lewis |

I use Win ME (fully updated) on my Voodoo 5 5500 machine, which I use for all my Internet, email, newsreading ( now !) and word processing. And also for my DOS and Glide games................. !! WinME gets a bad rap from some. I have seen more "recover from major error" on my Win XP machine than blue screens on this one. So again I am not qualified to properly answer your question. A bit like a wet rag really..........very sorry.......... John Lewis |

A bit like a wet rag really..........very sorry.......... John Lewis Thanks anyhow...and no worries about the Voodoo5 or Windows ME. I was running a Voodoo3 in an old box until recently and know that you can only do retro gaming with those cards! For fun one day, I tried installing and running 10 different games released in the last year and a half, and only one of those games ran on the Voodoo3! Not really a surprise, but still amusing (the game that did run was Deer Hunter 2004). As for Windows ME, I bought it the day it was released and I have no complaints about stability. I'm running it as part of a dual boot on my second machine here with a boatload of older games installed and still remain quite happy with my experience with it. |
