Re: Question about the 6600GT

No, I think he was referring to the fact that the card was originally PCI-e and then how nVidia made it AGP by putting a bridge chip, which was the opposite of what they used to (making AGP cards into PCI-e).

Anyway, hope you get your help/answer soon and hopefully have better results than I did.

HSI interface is the technical name for the bridge.

Re: Question about the 6600GT

Thanks everyone. I reinstalled once again, went back to older drivers and simply renamed that Battlefield 2 profile. Now the game works fine . Hell of a lot of trouble just to change a vid card though lol.

Re: Question about the 6600GT

when i installed my 6600GT i didnt need to reinstall, but i did when it randomly stopped working after i hadnt played it for a month heh.

its hilarious how i just kind of accepted that a game like BF2 would probably just stop working if you didnt play it every few days hehe.

Re: Question about the 6600GT

Yeah, I guess over that month, random lines of code were strung together and the game effectively created a mind of it's own. It subsequently decided that it would stop working and pursue a career as a frisbee lol
