    cause their are pretty much no drivers for x64. XP (32bit) and windows 2000 are the only OS's that have driver support for Nvidia's mobile GPU's

    okayyy. thx. i just needed to know if there were any drivers that could be used or if my efforts to find the stupid x64 drivers were futile.


    I really hope this all improves soon. I would love to use these new OS's but the incompatability is just too annoying for me.

    im not going to sit on vista where my drivers either generate random blocks mid-game playing css or w/e or if the x64 ultimate is going to be slower than x32.


    back to xp for a while :]
