NVIDIA has always offered unified driver packages that are available for download so even if the drivers included on your CD are not the latest just get them from www.nvidia.com. There is nothing out of the ordinary to look for when installing this card, just plug it into your 1.5V AGP slot, turn on your system and then install the drivers off the included CD or off the NVIDIA site and you are up and going.

There are some excellent options available for custom and fine tuning your 3D video environment that can be found in your video display options panel. You can easily get to this panel by right clicking the mouse on your desktop. In the display options panel there are tabs that represent the different feature functions available for the card.

You can control the amount of clarity and Anti-aliasing the card provides for you. You can manually adjust the setting or have the card automatically work with whatever your software requires depending on your preference. I set the all the different cards to their best performance settings for Direct-3D and Open-GL as to see where the cards ultimate potential really is. It is kind of hard to do an apple to apple comparison using both RADEON and Ti series cards but I think I got it right anyways after a few trials and errors.
