Well, I installed them and now I'm on my old 286 back-up machine, you owe me a new computer.











Seriously I installed them the day you posted this and they have performed fine with my meager little machine.

LOL....they seem ok but one of the biggest thing I noticed was the screen is a tad bit brighter the IQ is sharper. No difference in FPS.

I noticed that too, and I also saw where my background processes went from 25 down to 24. So I'm happy.

When ever you install new drivers, use a driver sweeper to clear out the old files. Uninstalling and a reboot won't do it.
