Need to install new drivers when upgrade to Max?
On Monday I'll be taking a vanilla out of my system and putting a Max in. (I'm getting all my money back for the vanilla, so no replies about how this upgrade isn't worth it.) I currently have the 5.41 drivers installed. Should I uninstall these drivers before removing the old card and then reinstall them after adding the new one? Or is there no reason to bother?

You will need to reinstall the same driver. No need to uninstall it. While the cards are basically the same, the MAX is recognized as diiferent from regular, thus the need to reinstall. -

If a retail Max isn't worth the extra $30 it's costing me (including shipping) over an OEM Vanilla, I feel sorry for every poor sap that bought one.
Come Monday, if the thing doesn't handle at least as high an AGP bus speed as my oft-defamed OEM card, I'll feel sorry for me ;(
