umm... drivers, please?

[bridfi]

is there anywhere i can get drivers for my PCI-xpress nVidia 6600 GT? nForce4 SLI AMD64? nVidia only has drivers for AGP graphics cards.

As far as I know the drivers are the same for PCI-e cards. Download them from here:

For your Nforce, go here:

It doesnt mather if you dont know something, just type the damn commands and enjoy. Eventually you will find out what init 3 is.

Give the guy a break he is new.

init3 shuts down the gui to restart the gui you type init5 (note no space)

i do want help... i want to understand how linux works and the relative commands. (been at work all day) im going to try Ubuntu 6.06 and see if I can learn anything about linux the easy way. People say its easier to use, so i'll give it a try. thanks for teaching me what init means. and how to switch on and off the GUI. i'll try to go about installing nvidia drivers with the ubuntu distro. hopefully it'll be easier!

thanks again
