Funny because that's exactly what I noticed with my old GeForce3 Ti500
when I used any nVidia driver set beyond 30.82. The 30.82's were solid,
but after that...

I'm glad I went back to ATI last year.

Remember these won't ship until the end of July. I suggest you confirm on
the phone that your order has not been dropped. Don't freak out, noone has
received these cards as yet.

ATI has more problems than NVIDIA in the driver area.

wasn't eagerly awaiting your response, nerd.

Oh, dear! We are getting upset now, aren't we? For someone who
thinks they have a life, you certainly haven't learnt much in the way
of constructive conversation, have you?

You need to get a grown-up English dictionary.

Chambers:" learn... pa t and pa p learned or learnt."

And, quite apart from that, it's a sure sign of inadequacy on Usenet
to resort to spelling quibbles. Please, please, try to come up with
something better than that!
