I am running 9.2 on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mobo with nForce2 SPP and nForce2 MCP-T chipsets on the north and south bridges, and 9.2 detected and uses all quite well with no trouble. I am not sure that you need to install the drivers from NVidia, as they are precompiled as kernel modules for you to use. Now for NVidia video cards there is something to do to use the NVidia drivers rather than the open source alternative, and we have discussed that around and around here. Rob Rob
