Which drivers are you using? I used the VSA drivers (not sure which version they were) followed by installing the 1.02.00 (Win2K) drivers to get the tools, etc, and everything works the same as it did under WinME/2K. Haven't tried to get overclocking, since my card has too many missing "can resistors," so I don't wanna push it too much.

Win XP emulates DOS so whats the problem? You can also change windows XP themes to classic view.
tweaker, that is the most uninformed post I've seen in a while. Win2K is fine, stable, and will work with most things. Even some DOS programs still run in it. If you've waited this long to upgrade your OS, it'd be foolish not to get WinXP "because its too colorful". If you have problems with the activation, I can understand that. But the color?? You've used Windows right? You do know you can change the colors, and with WinXP, you can go even further.

Where was I misinformed? Goto run and type command and guess what?? you get a dos window. You are the misinformed person here. Get a clue.
