   Actually, you CAN run the NT reference drivers, though this has more to do 
with the fact that NT doesn't care about the video BIOS than anything else.

  In fact, the only way to get the "Open-GL support under Windows NT" that they 
claim on the back of the box is to install the latest ref drivers as Diamond's 
ancient NT drivers don't support it.  In fact, up to a month ago, the V2x00  
didn't have Open-GL support in NT *at all*, Diamond had been lying about NT OGL 
support for over 6 months.  (and if you ask me, they're *still* lying about it 
as the drivers provided by Diamond still don't provide OGL support in NT)
