  • What's the state of the w2k drivers?

    What's the state of the w2k drivers? Does at least DX7 work all right? Should I try it? (I have a week of vacation
    Asus A7V, Duron 600@900, 192MB PC133@100, G200, Guillemot MUSE, etc.

    Not much luck here, but it is worth a try.

      Livius, it depends on the rest of your system. If you have an ACPI compliant system (older ABIT boards are right out in this area) and are willing to clean-install... the Matrox drivers work fine. Some minor glitching in D3D, and OpenGL is buggy but usable.

        Gurm, where on earth did you get that about older Abit boards?

          I'd say go with the MS drivers until Matrox updates their drivers.
          We should expect a update before 17 feb...

            Go with MS drivers? And not even have more than 8-bit color? Hmmmm. I don't think so. Matrox's drivers are fine. D3D runs well IF and I repeat again IF the game will install properly under 2000. Some older games (i.e. Battlezone) have troubles under 2000. This is NOT a driver problem, but more due to the fact that the game was written specifically for 95 and NOT for NT.
