Update video BIOS?
Hello,
When I run a program like sisandra, it tells me I that my videos bios is way-too-old and I should look at updateing it. The vidcard is a Palit Daytona Geforce 2 mx 400 64 mgs of sdram. When I visited Nvidia, it refers me to the "manufacturer's website", but when I try to go to Palitusa's site, there is nothing there. It just doesn't ever load.(I do have dial-up so I am patient) But it never happens. Any place else I can get the video bios? I have googled without luck. Thanks

If your card is performing well, don't worry about updating the video bios. [You can, however, update the drivers from time-to-time --> the nVidia reference "Detonators" are usually pretty good, and are available at the nVidia website].
SiSoft Sandra's suggestions are often worth a pretty good laugh, especially with older systems. I work with a lot of donated oldies for local preschools & I love SiSoft Sandra for helping identify things, but I turn off the "tips" and "suggestions" after a while. I've got to stop laughing and keep working sometime  . . . Gary |

All Sandra knows is the bios is more than "X" months old - which is almost meaningless.
Palit is not a front line company, and I highly doubt that they ever release updated video card bioses. I have seen video bios updates in the past from top line companies such as Elsa, Matrox, and (no longer around) Diamond. |
