I am currently running a Gainward MX400 with the 12.41's. The card is pretty good for an MX, it is oc'd to 232/240 with my Duron FSB@120. I have another card that I want to try out-a 3D Prophet 4500, and I heard that Nvidia drivers leave behind junk when you try to uninstall them. I actually stumbled across some driver removal software one time, but now I can't find it. Somebody want to tell me where to get the driver removal software? Thanks

If I were stupid, I would pay twice as much for a processor that is slower too. It's o.k.

Get Detonator Destroyer at <A HREF="http://www.guru3d.com" target="_new">http://www.guru3d.com</A>. It's only for Win 9x/ME and Detonator 6.xx and up.

Be sure to follow the instructions and uninstall the nVidia drivers. (This will clean up most of the Registry keys). Do this before you execute Detonator Destoyer.

After uninstalling the drivers and/or rolling back to VGA drivers go into the registry (type "regedit" in the run dialog box) and search for nvidia and delete all references to it. Everything leaves s@#$ behind.
