I have an Nvidia TNT 2M64 4XAgp (Dell) video card and I have never
updated the driver since I bought the computer over 4 years ago. I
have been advise that the new 5x.xx drivers may prove unstable for my
system.

If it's one thing I don't need ...........it's a more unstable system.
Are older drivers still available somewhere............if so....where?

Or should leave well enough alone??

Thanks

nVidia has a full official drivers archive section at their site, but many
people seem to either ignore it, or just can't plain read(not intended for
you)

Try finding a TNT1 (Win2k) driver there... seems nvidia "forgot" that they
once made a TNT1 chip... im not expecting them to update their drivers, but
the latest driver would be nice to get.

You just need to alter the inf as most recent drivers really support the
tnt1. As a proof, if you go to creative's site, you can download 44.04's
(first dx9 driver batch, I belive 2k and xp are the same set), they detect
my old creative riva tnt 16mb and work without a glitch, there's no reason
for them not to work with any other, just change their bmp and card name in
the inf if you don't like creative's name everywere.

So you'll buy and run Win2K, but you won't get rid of a card that can be
replaced by something way faster for $25? That makes no sense whatsoever.
TNT is pre-detonator, thats all there is to it.

Thanks a billion... creatives driver worked nicely (i needed the tv out for
my "DVD Player" machine (and Divx etc.) ) ... i tried the newest asus
(31,40) but it refused to recognize that my tv was connected :-(
