Greetings all
   OK now that I have my new system with MSI-K8n Neo2 Platinum and AMD64
really purring quite nicely with a fresh install of WSeB I am confronting
the deal-breaker that caused me to setup a networked, dedicated OS/2 box in
the first place since it just can't keep up in the video driver department.
 The last time it matched for me was an nVidia TNT2 and that was almost 5
years ago and alsmost as many video card revisions.  Now my new system uses
an nVidia GeForce 6600 GT which has 256megs video ddr ram and amazing 3D
acceleration.  My problem is that even if I could bring myself to spend
nearly $40 US for SNAP drivers (running a very close 2nd to M$ asking $50
for USBSUPP.dll so that Win95 would handle AGP - the last time I bought
anything bigger than a mouse from M$) they don't support this chipset and
considering they just this year gained support for GeForce *5500* !!! it's
going to be long past this card's usefullness to me before they finally get
around to it.

  So I am soliciting ideas from the group for drivers that will at least
give me basic OpenGL 3D svga support on this chipset w/o spending an
arm&a leg, preferably free (which considering Scitech's lack of support
I think their's should be for home users, or at least really cheap, but oh
well cold day in hell and all that) .  I looked at scitech beta drivers and
if they don't run out of time that could possibly work at least on some
fundamental level.  Does IBM have (or have plans to soon change to) free or
cheap drivers for basic nVidia support? Please help soon since my snap
downloaded drivers run out this week.
