7800 is in. I download the drivers from nvidia's site (mobile version, of course) and it'll say

"setup cannot find any drivers that are compatible with your hardware"

wtf?

Are you running Media Edition?

edit - thought maybe I should be more specific, Are you running the Windows XP Media Center Edition?

I don't think the drivers from NVIDIA are compatible with the Dell 7800. Look at the manufacturer's supported, no Dell there . Try out the XTreme-G Mobile Edition drivers. They support ALL Mobile GPU's from the GeForce2 Go through the GeForce Go 7800GTX .

I've looked at the ForceWare Go drivers (NVIDIA's ones for the Go7800GTX), and they have specific PCI (Subsys) ID's for each manufacturer (as all manufacturers have different ID's. This is why the NVIDIA driver won't work with the Dell card unless you modify it or download an already modified driver, such as the XTreme-G Drivers .

Yeh, you're right. The reason it worked with my Dell 6800Ultra is because I flashed it to overclock, then flashed it back to normal clockspeeds, but nevertheless, that whiped the Dell out of it! Thx.
