You know, if driverheaven somehow got access to thousands of drivers...that would be awesome.

I remember when I first came here back in the day, I thought they'd have a bunch of driver downloads (mainly one for my older s3 virge, my ma needed a more stable typing computer)...but what we got now is good

Surprised they aren't included in XP, many older drivers are...

moe some lawns... do a little work and get my video card (not MY video card, but one just like it)for $103.50 at Buyaib or get a Radeon 9000 for even less ($86) at the same place.

Heck, I have a Geforce 256 SDRam that I'll sell to you for 30 bucks if you're in the states. hehe, good little card it was.

Do older Trident products support new operating systems like Win2000, WinME, WinXP, or NT 4.0?

We support a limited number of OS drivers for the 8900, 9000, 9200, 9470, 9420, 9400, 9440, 96x0 (9660, 9680, 9682, 9685), ProVidia 968x, 9750, 9850, 9880, and 9910. Only the operating systems listed on the driver download pages for our products are supported. Cards based on 8900 all the way to the 9850 (listed above) will not support Win2000, WinME, or WinXP.

.... In other words, you're stuffed!

Though there IS apparently a 96xx/938x driver for Win2000

And Win2000 drivers are often usable in XP at a pinch!

If we're offereing alteranatives, I have an AGP Rage Fury (Rage128) with TV-Out
