Specifications

1. Right-click on My Computer icon on your Desktop, then left-click on Properties. Navigate to
Device Manager and double-click on Computer. Under "View Resources" you will find a list of
IRQs, each with description of the device that's using it. Note the IRQ number used by your
GeForce.
2. Navigate to Start > Run and type sysedit. Find the [386enh] Section in the System.ini file and add
irq[n]=4096 under it, where [n] is the IRQ number of your GeForce and 4096 is the amount of
RAM you want to reserve in bytes (e.g. "irq10=4096"). I recommend using 4096, however you can
experiment with different values if you want. Save changes in the file, exit and reboot for changes
to take effect.

Q. What Windows 9x/ME drivers should I use?
There are a number of driver sets that you can use:
Firstly, there are manufacturer driver sets. These driver sets are usually based on the NVIDIA reference
drivers with customised control panels and possibly more options. However they are likely to not be as
up to date as the NVIDIA reference drivers. You will have to visit your manufacturer's website to find
out about the drivers that they supply and what additional features they may offer.
Secondly, there are NVIDIA's reference drivers.
There are generally a few versions available: one (or two) official versions and some leaked versions that
are not officially supported but may be faster or have more features than the official drivers (and may
also be slower and have less features).
Detonator (3.xx - 4.xx series) drivers
Detonator 2 (5.xx series) drivers
Detonator 3 (6.xx - 11.xx series) drivers
You can download the latest set of official NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA's website:
