^Yes... Maybe the links are made to work with Win98 and IE6! 😁

Anyway, does that mean GF 6 series aren't a good option for 440BX builds? Because this version doesn't support anything newer than GF FX 5900 or Quadro FX 3000.

I remember that driver 56.64 worked for me with 440BX. It's just that anything newer was crashy. Though once you go beyond 45.23, some older games from 2000-2001 start having problems.

Hmmm.. noted, thanks. Don't have a GF6 to try this out, but will put a note when recommending the combo.

I tried downloading with my Android phone, and it works. Weird. I was on an LTE connection though, so maybe it has something to do with my ISP or the node path it's taking.

I had no problem with that nvidia link at all. Worked from my PC straighaway, got a 7.6MB file. I'm using Win7+Firefox.
