Just unpack the older drivers from Nvidia's archive and install as before, in fact someone proabably already has a package of those drivers sitting somewhere. As far as being forced to upgrade to pci-e you should be able to get boards that support agp, or both. I know a few AMD socket 939 boards support both, Asrock makes a few. You could always go with onboard video, AMD is coming out with a few, Nvidia has a few as well. Gnu_Raiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I found the FX5200 is still supported, which is fanless and > PCI, but costs $60.- That's more than double the MX4000. Any GeForce 4 or derived cards from that chipset has been deprecated by nVidia a while ago. The only reason you see these cards around still is "back stock". Many card manufacturers have had to dump these chipsets. Evidence is the price. I personally have been hit by this 3 times now. I have NV11, NV15 and NV17 chipset... Lotsa fun. FX5200's chipset is the bottom set now. Anyway, it you are going to start complaining about this, start looking at the OpenDesktop nVidia driver (not sure of the name, Rendition?).
