i have a GeForce256 and was wondering which drivers would get me a higher fps in games and higher score in 3dmark2001.. i read that the 12.90 are faster than 14.10.... i had 12.90 first then went to 14.10 but was dissapointed and switched back to 12.90

but i noticed that there are three 12.90 drivers for winME and was wondering if someone knows which of the three are better
(or maybe even a different series of drivers?)
this is where i saw 'em
http://guru3d.com/download/nvidia.shtml

i also didnt like that 14.10 had removed the option to o/c the card through display options in /advanced

thank you,

12.90 for your system (W2K/NT, 98, or ME) will run the best. 14.XX drivers, as I've learned, were intended for XP.

I don't recommend trying drivers intended for another operating system. User the W2K in windows 2000, 98 in 98, me in me.

all that whql means is that microsoft approved it, both should be good...ohwhql is probably for win2k
