The release notes for the 88.61 drivers state that the release supports the
6200 TC card. How much actual memory do you have on your 6200 TC card. I ask this since I beleive that MCE 2005 on XP required that a 6200 TC card actually have 32MB of onboard memory. What happens if you just ask Vista to search for drivers on your system drive? What error do you get when trying to install the 88.61 drivers? Is the BIOS for your MOBO uptodate?

I think my card has only 16MB of actual memory. But it works fine on XP using
TC. Actually I am using Vista drivers for the card and it enabled all the effects. The nvidia driver never gives me errors, it simply doesn't recognizes the card and it doesn't enable the Turbo Cache technology. There's got to be a way to enable the Turbo Cache on the card. If this is not solved, I am thinking on buying a 6600 256mb Pci-e card, but I would love to find a fix for the problem first. Willy.
