 new Nvidia Nforce2 WHQL 2.42 drivers released... get them here for WinXP and here for Win2K These also are 25MB each... This nForce WinXP driver package contains the below components: Audio driver 3.37 + TOT.nvu Audio utilities 3.37 + TOT.nvu Ethernet driver 3.13 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu GART driver 3.34 (WHQL) Memory controller driver 3.38 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu SMBus driver 3.38 (WHQL) + TOT.nvu Installer 3.42 Display drivers 43.51 (WHQL) Looks to me like they totally pulled the IDE drivers...

| LOL if they keep making chipsets like this I'm sure you will  The bad things come with the enthusiast industry. We're usually all smart enough to figure things out anyways

| International version included this time instead of a different package I'd assume. Can anyone compare actual file versions? i.e. verify that nothing else has been updated (I'm stuck at work and it sucks)?

| I've got a 8RDA3+ and I've installed v2.42 drivers. It's installed fine, even tho I only unistalled the other drivers (v2.03). However, do I still need to install my C-Media drivers? I have sound without installing these drivers tho. Do the nVidia v2.42 drivers support the C-Media, or does it work by fluke? Thanks for your time, Blackmyst!

The IDE driver problem is a relatively minor issue on an otherwise great high-performance chipset. I'd still take nForce2 over any current VIA chipset. The MS IDE drivers default to PIO mode. If you go under advanced settings on both the Primary and Secondary controller channels, you can set Ultra DMA mode which performs much better.

| Nvidia pulled them from their site. The FTP link is still working but if you go to download them from the website, only the 2.03's are available. Linky Quote:
