  1. I'm going to go with a newer geforce 8400 to see if that makes a difference. Apparently the xp driver with this card is compatible with win 2k. If that doesn't do the trick I will just downgrade to an older board to make it true retro.
  2. So I got a refurbished geforce 6500 and installed the necessary windows 2000 drivers. I tried a couple different official drivers and both had major issues on 2000 and on XP. The OS would freeze, then screen would go black, and then would sometimes restart the entire PC. I have a feeling it's the graphics card causing the issues, and not the drivers. Any thoughts on this?
  3. I forgot to mention it has pcie as well. I found that the geforce 6200 pcie has drivers for windows 2000 and up. Thoughts?
  4. Hate to have to bump this guys, but I completely forgot that my motherboard does not have an agp port. So the challenge is getting a card to work for all three os's using standard PCI. Ugh.
  5. I am currently running an amd 7850 for my retro build, and it runs vista aero perfectly, runs xp perfectly, but windows 2000 is horrendous with it. I can't even get 640x480 with 32 bit color. It wont even use a vga driver. I bothers me, lol.
  6. Hey everyone. This question may seem odd, but I am working on a full on retro PC build that currently runs vista, xp, and win 2000. I need a graphics card that will have driver support for all 3 OS's. I understand it will have to be an older card from the mid 2000's, but I can't seem to pin down one that will do all 3. Now I understand virtualbox is the easy way, but I want a legit standalone retro PC just for geek reason. You know, why not? So for anyone that has been building pc's for a while that can give a hand, it will be greatly appreciated.
