what's the best Prophet II Ultra Drivers?

[SexyBurrito]

I just bought it from my friend for $120 and I am trying to figure out which drivers I should get...

I have Athlon 750 with Asus K7V board.

Nice deal.

11.01 are the most stable.
10.80 get the highest in 3D Mark.
12.xx are supposedly optimized for P4.

So 11.01 would be the best choice IMO.

Hello.
I just got Prophet II Ultra but was bummed to find out that my fps is only 30~40 range...

I had installed new 12.40 detonator drive with 1024 resolution...it does look HELLA GOOD though... ^_^

But, with my system I should get at least 60 fps I think. Basically I am trying to make it look as good as possible while keeping fps at 60+.


I read somewhere that 12.x drivers are p4 optimized... if that's true which drivers I should get for my Athlon 750? Or is there problem in a setting or something... here are relevent entries on my autoexec file.

ROFLMAO!
It's what came with my comp. I hate it and I want Win2K. But since I have a P4, a friend of mine said I should wait for a 64 bit version or something that is optimized for P4. I dunno....

Isnt 2k kinda expensive?
