I really would not call core2 retro yet, very old and out dated yes. Core2 was still used in new systems up towards the beginning of 2010/end of 2009. and that's when the X58 platform was out. Given that it can use the newest video cards and ddr3 ram I can't call the core2 retro yet. at least not …

No print server. Just disabled it in excel. No need to disable it in the drivers as it worked fine with other apps. Canon said there were having driver bugs with an update or something. what ever, I'll update the drivers when they have a fixed version.

K6-2 AFQ @ 400mhz can take advantage of voodo2's. Might not be the best setup for 2 voodoo2's. but it sure beats the heck out of a pent90 haha

Well it's about 125-150w per cpu and 200-250w per video card if I recall the power draw right. I'd go for a top end 1kw psu if not higher to be safe. An antec Quattro 1200w makes since for this build. But you might want to play it safe and buy a newer psu. But Honestly id used that 1200w pcp&c psu. …

Will be using 2k and just want the best all around driver. I'll be running games from the late 90s to around 2005. Manly opengl games. And it will be used in my 604 setup. Anyway I thought the drivers would be no different from a gt to an ultra, but I thought the ultra (some of them) used a nv45 …

What drivers are best for the 6800 ultra agp? I know I need to stop asking these kind of questions. But I never had an ultra, just a gt. In thinking 97 or something.
