Uninstall the video card, by software, and then delete the drivers in the c:\drivers folder and places like that. Restart Windows, and try to force it to accept your own drivers. See what happens with that.

dl the detonator for XP and Win2k

then get coolbits
or NVMAX

keep in mind that u need additional cooling if u want to add more than 10MHz onto the ram...

Yes that is the PNY card you can get for $129.99, that is the fast version 64mb card. My buddies went out and got theirs today also The card is the GF4 4200ti. Very cool card, I am 100% happy with mone and 200% happy with the price *LOL*

nope, all the 64mb cards run about the same, but how they are built determines the overclockability, like on my card the ram overclock is not great, some people can get 600+ but I can only get around 580-585, but in the chip side I have not seen an air cooled card run at 340-345 like mine does, best I have seen is 320. So in fact every card and every revision from different manufactureres is allot different. The frist A2 card from pny sucked crap with a max overclock of around 285 and 570, with my A3 revisioned chip I run 340/580 on everything with 0 probs latest 3d mark is 11272.
