I am sure it will be fixed before that. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the silicon now being delivered is fixed in fact. I would think a new stepping will contain a fix. Since I have zero inclination to remove the heat-sink to ascertain the Rev version, I shall give the 6800GT (AGP) and the X800 (AGP) a pass. Still have my trusty overclocked 5900 (non-XT). Will probably wait for a dual PCI-express motherboard to give the option of running the 6800 in SLI mode. A FX53/nForce4 motherboard combo would be extremely attractive. Er, so would a shag with Cameron Diaz. Not going to get that either ;-) Chip |

Be careful what you wish for grin. Well thanks for the thought. But in 80 years, I would be a 123. With medical science being what it is, I suppose that may be remotely possible. Getting the kit to work, however? Well that's another matter altogether. LOL. Chip |

"CapFusion" wrote in message ... "Richard Dower" wrote in message ... "DaveL" wrote in message ... No it's not! It just needs a driver update. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19314 DaveL I'm confused! Which part you are confusing with? 1 - Install the latest nVidia driver 2 - Install nVida DVD decoder 3 - Install the latest Media Player from Microsoft 4 - Check the result if result are better. CapFusion,... Only problem with this is - unless I'm missing something, you need to BUY the DVD decoder. I bought the video card, why should I need to buy nVidia's DVD decoder for the onboard video processor to function? What are you talking about regarding Decoder? Are you referring to third-parties DVD software like WinDVD / PowerDVD or there? From previous reply link - http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=19314 ** Quote ** The ForceWare driver will be available shortly on the NVIDIA.com and the NVIDIA's DVD decoder is already available for download from NVIDIA.com. For Windows Media Video decode on the GeForce 6600 models, end users will also need to download an update to Windows Media Player from Microsoft. ** /Quote ** Are you still confused? CapFusion,... Ooops, forgot the link - nVidia DVD Decoder http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder_1.00.58.html CapFusion,... But you do have to buy the Nvidia DVD Decoder .. it is not free. regards @ndrew |
