As of about 2 months ago, the new NT,98 & 2000 drivers all support a full openGL ICD that should top the TNT2. Go to Matrox's site and get the latest drivers. Make sure that you fully uninstall the previous drivers to ensure that the new ones work properly. -BT BM> Yeah - I went out and bought one of these after a recommendation from a BM> fellow Max-lister and various reviews, and to say I was severely BM> disappointed with the performance is an understatement.
