Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y The smell of newly purchased stuff... So, there I was, Hauppauge WinTV board in hand, Mandrake 10 installed and ready to rock! Little did I expect that it would come to this. But first things first.

What are the specs? You mentioned almost nothing. What is the maker of the Nvidia 5700 Ultra card? What's your motherboard (Chipset, maker, etc...)?

Like it matters? At least it doesn't for Linux. It's the same damn chipset but if you must keep questioning me...

The video card is an eVga 5700 ultra. By the way, the eVga 5700 doesn't work either.

The motherboard is an Abit NF7-S.

I have an MSI Nvidia 5200 card and the drivers are not included on the XP CD but one trip to WindowsUpdate and the problem is gone.

That's great and all but how am I supposed to visit WindowsUpdate when Windows isn't even installed?
