SUMMARY

Video cards that use the NVidia GeForce 256 video card and GeForce chip set, or the NVidia Vanta chip set, are not supported on Windows XP-based computers that use Physical Address Extension (PAE).

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition loads a standard VGA video driver for NVidia GeForce chip sets, or NVidia Vanta chip sets, to eliminate problems on computers that use PAE (Physical Address Extension). Please contact NVidia to inquire about an updated driver that is supported by Windows on PAE computers.
