Just installed the DetXPs after a new Win2000 install, and they make my GeF2 MX 400 card fly!

Double the frame rate in 3DMark2001 in the first test..............


I'm so excited!!!!!!

Go to Control panel -> add/remove programs and uninstall the old then install the new. :) Chances are that your card does not have a temperature sensor, you'll probably have to buy one.

Umm, not sure what your talking about. I just remove video drivers in 'add/remove programs'. (Thats in Win2k & 98 - for certain)

You can change it in "properties"
I'll change it for you, edmund, when I come to your house.
And yes, Det4 rocks!

lol, the ME don't sux.
I currently use the Win98 ver.
Not even SE!:o

I think performance in different os wouldn't differ much. So, it wouldn't be much of a worry.

Thx...well....will this work too?

Right click on My computer
Go to Properties
Go to device Manager
Go to VGA gfx card
Then delete the current driver "Leadtek Winfast GF2 GTS Pro"
Then install Detonator XP
Then I am done!

Do you mean the difference between ME and 2k isn't that big so installing det4 would be a good idea.... or do you mean the difference between existing drivers and det4 drivers for ME isn't that big so don't bother..... ??:(??

you worded it in an odd way and now i'm confused.... cos both statements sound wrong anyway.....
