Hi westy,
         Like all the new Detonator drivers, the 6.31s (testing them as we speak) will give better performance and feature support for GEforce cards but will do virtually nothing for TNT II chipset based cards and will in fact give you lower performance than either older Det versions or your original manufacturers drivers. I am nonetheless going to try them out online in AH. I have thus far only used Wintune 98 and 3DMark 2000 to test them and they show the same type of performance as other Det3 builds. They have ostensibly fixed some compatibility issues with GEforce cards and VIA chipset based systems which is what they were designed to do. I'll post back later with my online results and any other comments about visual quality etc.

Thanks guys!

Being a TNT II user I'll stray away from these. Actually I figure the drivers I use now 4.02 are about the best I'l have for this card. Thanks for the heads up online last night Kbman!
