I've never heard anything bad about using the NVidia generic drivers
(Detonator), but I think I should relay a personal experience.
Currently I've two PCs configured with Elsa Erazor X (GeForce 256
chipset) video cards (both running Win98SE). One seems to be running
fine with NVidia's Detonator 3 (v650) drivers. The other PC is my
primary development machine. I've run several versions of the (generic)
Detonator drivers but recently noticed some strange behavior (several
things including blue screen errors pointing to video upon shutdown and
most recently the machine locking up when it would put the monitor to
sleep, no identifiable problems running any software). So I downloaded
Elsa's latest drivers (based on the Detonator 3 v667) and amazingly my
machine seems to be behaving perfectly again... strange... very
strange...
So is the moral of the story that we can't always trust NVidia's
"generic" drivers to work?
