Detonator 6.32 if you got a Geforce2 are the way to go.
Yeah GF2 is what I'm going to install but all the different numbering protocols for the drivers is confusing 28.xx, 43.xx and then the Detonator series 6.xx.
I guess it wouldn't hurt to START out with the original drivers for a particular card and work from there.
Pretty confusing isn't it? but IIRC, 5.32 is from June-July 2000 and 6.32 from October that year(when the Ultra started becoming more available to the public).
Sounds like a good idea. 😀 Keep in mind if you use very, very early drivers you might get reduced performance or rendering errors in some games. You got to know which games you're likely to play and find a balance between performance and compatibility. For example, Serious Sam TFE performed the fastest on a system of mine with a GeForce3 (Pentium 3 1400S, Via 694x, slot-1, 256mb ram, W98SE) using the 12.41 driverset, whereas anything older or newer wouldn't really cut it.
