I haven't heard a peep back. The NVIDIA support site is structured about like this: - If your NVIDIA card shipped with the computer direct from the OEM manufacturer, it's not our problem. Contact [Dell,HP,Compaq,etc] for resolution. - If your NVIDIA card was purchased retail, it's not our problem. Contact the card manufacturer [Gigabyte,MSI,etc.] for assistance. Does anyone know a contact in NVIDIA that would have any concern over (driver, etc.) issues like this? -- Darren Spruell phatbuckett@gmail.com
