Well, I just realized that the system was running on the windows temp display driver...lol

Anybody have an idea on what driver to get for it?
 
That wont work, nVidia has shit drivers, no longer unified like ATI has. You have to dig through their archive to find compatibility with your old hardware.

Lemme dig throgh, I can probably find it quick, a version number popped in my head from way back in the day, maybe I can find it/confirm it.

This is the oldest listed driver that shows a page for products supported. And the plain old TNT is not supported. The reason the TNT2 lasted so long was that it was extremely popular in OEM Dell type machines nad used everywhere, the TNT2 Vanta thing.

It's a pain with a not so old GeForce 2 PRO I have. The driver after around v66 drops support for the mainstream GeForce 2 cards.

Fucking nVidia....
 
AFAIK, the TNT2 drivers were interchangeable with the TNT. Its been a while since I've installed drivers for it last. My old V550 had been in my sisters computer for the last couple of years.
 
I just found this one when I was looking in the nVidia knowledge base FAQ. They said it was the last TNT supported driver....but I coulda sworn that my CD came with a version 6x.xx.....oh well

I might change over to the detonator drivers someday, but the parents could use these more...

and Menelmarar, although I'm sure it makes no difference, those drivers are for win 2k, not winxp :p (but I never mentioned that to begin with)

anyone else ever try running a stripped down version of XP on a 450mhz Dell? It's a PITA, but actually runs great after some ram gets thrown in...
