  1. Well, since Q3A came out, I've been wrestling with drivers. I have: Abit BP6 1.21 BIOS 2x300a OC to 450 2.0v nice and cool 256MB RAM OEM Diamond TNT2 SBLive Value OEM (default win2k drivers) Adaptec 2940U2W 9GB Atlas 10k NetGear FA310TX (or something like that) Anyway, my problem is that with all the 3.6x Win2k drivers, I get random lockups when launching some apps (notably aoe2 and q3a). 3.64 was pretty stable (I'd get a crash like 1 in 5 or something). But 3.65 crashed before it even finished booting. However, the drivers work perfectly at work, with a similar system config (retail diamond v770, p3 450 non o/c, asus p2 99, win2k 2183). So I'm guessing it's an SMP-related problem. However, I've never heard anyone else complain about random crashes with the 3.6x drivers. I have to use the 2.01 NT5 drivers to get total stability, and even then I get cursor corruption once in a blue moon. So if you've had a crash (or have had perfect stability) please let me know. I'd really like to run the 3.65 drivers since I've found out the trick of using the Win2k drivers and the NT4 opengl driver to get Q3A to work. 1280x960 rules, and 2.01 doesn't do it.
