upgrading to XP

Actually, for nVidia drivers I go to the nVidia web site. More nVidia drivers
THERE than you can shake a stick at. For all kinds of nVidia cards, going way
back when and for all kinds of operating systems... Ben Myers

The 8100 may be old enough that XP has built-in chipset drivers for the 850
chipset on the 8100 motherboard. XP was released in 2002 and the 8100 pre-dates

I believe you're right. Especially if the CD contains SP2.........

Maybe, but there are chipset drivers listed under Windows Me. I'd try
them. I've run XP on an 8100 and I would swear I needed the chipset
drivers.
