Via are blaming the war between ati n nvidia that compatibility and stability has taken a back seat to speed and performace optimisations according to [H].
I haven't got a problem with 23.11, I installed them when I saw this thread this morning, and so far, so good, I've been playing CS for most of the day, so I think they are pretty stable for me Also I got the second monitor back up and running on an 8 meg SIS card sowted!!!
Resently I had to reinstall my gfx driver (its a long story) but now I cant get into the advanced properties. There also slower now rather bizarrely Thanks Nvidia!!!! You Rock!!!!
