Hi Rich,

Thanks for the real source of a driver for my chip. As I mentioned in
response to "You Know Who" previously, since my chip is obsolete
there's probably no need to update my driver. My system is running
fine, so Microsoft's analysis is probably inapplicable.

But I'm happy to know where I can find a driver for the Rage chip.
I've bookmarked the site.

Best wishes,
Richard
