Anyway, good luck with the new hardware [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
Thanks Mouse!

Mine came with a 29something driver, the newer one I mentioned was the 30. The 30 is the one I'm running.

The leadtek site only lists the XP certified versions, but I did see the two betas (40 somethings) on the nvidia site. I wasn't nearly that brave...lol.

The main thing I've noticed about the card is that my previously silent computer isn't so quiet anymore. The fans on the card are audible immediately from boot which is no big deal, but before my machine was almost completely/totally silent.

The second thing is that the card, as expected, has raised the case tempurature. I used to be able to put my hand against the fan and feel the airflow as room temp, but now it's putting out warm air, so the case temp is up a few degrees.

Seeing Ziroc thread about his dead GF 4600 will certainly keep my checking inside my case
