So some of you have probably heard me moan and bitch about my 8800GT OC that burned out, (go figure) back then I was too dumb to realize buying the overclocked card was not a good investment, etc.
Well, I was driving along today and slow rolling through a neighborhood I noticed something on the ground.
An Nvidea 8600gs. Just sitting there. In the gutter. It still works.
Downloading drivers now.
However, I now have an issue you all may be able to help me with. Switching back form that shitty HD2400 ATI card, I can't figure out how to uninstall the catalyst software suite, because my computer does a memory dump bluescreen whenever I try to run the uninstaller. I'm downloading the catalyst suite again to see if running it has an uninstall option that might work.
Karma loves my generosity, i guess.

Catalyst Unified should update without a prior uninstall.

I'm a bit more of a techie than I am a druggie, so forgive me when I say that a) this card is outdated by three generations and so someone probably just threw it out, and b) Catalyst is for ATi/AMD cards.

Good call on the Catalyst package being for ATi. However, an 8800 will play current games like badlands and is several generations ahead of my GeForce 5200 which I can't upgrade thanks to lack of PCI-E slots.
