Default Upgrade nvidia 5200 to nvidia 6200 OC, interested in a hot new int

I know this sounds so basic, but check Nvidia for a driver update.

Ogg, Mike M, and all those still interested

I just ran across your conversation thread from July 31, 2007 that is
close to a problem I’m having.
I upgraded to the Nvidia 5200 several months back and had good results
with it for a couple months. Then it began to fail in odd ways so I
upgraded it to the BFG Tech version of “Nvidia GeForce 6200 OC.”

This works well except if / when my system starts to go to sleep and
puts up the screen saver, it will lock up. The only way to get it back
is to cycle power.

Can someone give me the skinny on how to surmount? I don't even
remember how to change the timer for putting up the screen saver.

Also I noticed Ogg was looking for “a *new* barebone system just old
enough to still
support WinME.” I may have some good news. This Spring I built a
little PC for daur., using a new Intel DG33BU mob, Dual Core CPU, on
board video, on board HD audio, etc. In setting its CMOS, I came
across an interesting feature that allowed it to be used with old OS’s
via mimicking an old BIOS or some such. I installed XP pro SP2 with
out making use of this feature so maybe it is intended for win2K, NT4,
winME, DOS, ??
