NDW2.0 patch: Could anyone with inside info please tell me what it does exactly? I didn't see any difference! If it only involves some bug fixes, I hadn't encountered any problem with the original 2.0. New 24X drivers (2.03): As far as I can tell, it only fixes the problem with WfW2.0 tool/options GPF problem. I still get the same GPF's when returning from DOS session in standard mode. Don't know about dots-on-screen problem. But, it's about 2-5% slower than before. I'm not saying it's such a big deal. But fact is fact. With my 386sx 16MHz, I need every bit of speed I can sqeeze out. As for the WfW problem, how often do I need to reconfigure the thing? If I do change it, I can always bring up the toolbar and double-click it. Poor-man's mentality. But the card is poor-man's dream=come-true. Just btw, does anyone know the ETS of the next "major" update of the drivers? So I'm waiting for someone to reveal some inside knowledge about the two things. Untill then, I'd suggest everyone lay back and stay with the old stuff. It may not worth the trouble of ftp/download/unzip/defrag-disk/get disappointed. Bo Peng
