Papa Doc,

You are correct about the 5.22 drivers. Like I said before, my GF2 is
rock solid with these drivers. If it wasn't I would have returned it
like I did the V5 and gone back to my TNT2 ultra. I have played F4, EAW,
Mig Alley, Combat Mission, Starlancer, Tachyon, Terminus and a few other
with no problems at all other than one briefing screen in EAW is
distorted. Everything runs great. It seems like it has to be a Mobo
issue or maybe some sort of legacy video card problem. Heck who knows.
After essentially gutting my system trying to get the V5 to run, I
firmly believe that some systems just have bad ju-ju or kharma or what
ever you want to call it :-)
