eVGA e-GeForce 7900GS 256MB PCI Express Graphic Card

EVGA video cards have attained "Designed for Windows XP" certification. These video cards have passed rigorous testing and take full advantage of all of the features and capabilities of Microsoft Windows XP.

:Q

aren't all video cards designed for XP certification?

i am guessing it is just the marketing department at a loss for words after the x-mas sales
:gift:

things are pretty slow in Video ... Happy New Year!

That only happens on unsigned drivers (like beta or XG). Others are WHQL'd by MS and signed (a different process).
