No, I read an article where Nvidia said the new 50.xx drivers were going to come out last week- I'll find it if I can.

the article came out shortly after the 50.XX buzz was swarming. i remember the article saying that 'an official driver will be released later this week.'

everyone just assumed that they'd be the 50.XX set..

I'm looking forward to these 5x.xx drivers. Should be interesting.

They won't do much for my 9700pro I guess.

I just got the 50.06 driver. but it's only for 64bit xp and 64bit windows 2k3. I will install it anyways. see if it works

That's to bad I'm going to try them out anyways and see if it works. 50.06 better work!

check out this thread..

I installed then but they say that all these dll's or something are bad images so it does not work. It say in the installed that it is installing 2000/XP drivers so it should of worked but did. That sucks!

Someone should look in editing 50.06 so it works with other computers and os's. You know what I mean?

Maybe Omega

Those are for 64-bit OSes - meaning, they will not run on current, "normal" OSes, which are 32-bit

i know nuts 'bout windows XP, how do i check if its 64bit?? what's the difference??

ryanraab · May 3, 2003, 11:59 PM

You probably have 32bit Maxwell!

Kgentatszu] · May 4, 2003, 12:58 AM

how would you know, i might be stupid enough to install a 64bit Win XP, what's the differences anyway??

ryanraab · May 4, 2003, 01:03 AM

Are you a super noob? You don't have to check because you should know what you got when you bought your computer or when you bought your os!

Kgentatszu] · May 4, 2003, 01:26 AM

yup, definitely, i'm a super noob

You can't. You need a 64-bit CPU (like the AMD Opteron) for the 64-bit WinXP.

Kgentatszu] · May 5, 2003, 12:24 AM

and what's the differences between a 32bit and a 64 bitCPU, does any P4's supports that??

Bhairav · May 5, 2003, 11:02 PM

64 bit = computer can handle 2 to the power 64 bytes of memory. That is a LOT.
All current desktop cpus (except the Itanium and Athlon 64) are 32 bit, which means that the data bus is 32 bits wide, and they can handle at the most 2*power*32 bits=64 TB of memory.
No P4s are currently 64 bit, all are 32 bit. The only 64 bit microprocessors on the market are Intel's Itanium/Itanium 2 and the new Athlon 64, which can also run 32 bit programs.
