drivers? i suppose... i do have a driver for my gf 2 ultra. i haven't put any other hardware in there yet though, just the vid card. (to help avoid problems). you don't need drivers for a mobo, cpu, ram or case right? the floppy, the CD ROM and hard drive i got out of the same system but ok... i'll ...
