Need a video driver to give more than just 8-bit colors!!!

[Spin]

Gurus,

I own a Dell OptiPlex SX270. Shipped to my home with Windows XP Pro. But I
am dual-booting now to Windows 2003 Server for practice. Problem, I can't
find a video driver on the Dell web site made for Windows 2003 Server. That
being said, isn't there some kind of generic Intel driver I could install
which would give me more than just 8-bit colors?

What video card are you using?

Hi,

You can try to contact Dell to see if they offer a 2003 driver, and if they
don't you can try XP drivers, which usually work (but not always and are
unsupported)

My test machine at work is an SX270 with Windows Server 2003. I use the XP
driver from the CD supplied with the system.

Hope this helps

Drivers for XP will usually work just fine on the 2003 Server.
