361304 -
361305 - Called Ryan this evening and he explained that research today
361306 - indicates NVIDIA has not yet created a device driver for Windows XP to
361307 - run on the HP Pavilion Elite HPE 490t computer.  Therefore he cannot
361308 - configure video for Windows XP.
361310 -  ..
361311 - Ryan found that many customers are requesting this device driver from
361312 - NVIDIA.  This builds pressure for NVIDIA to develop the device driver
361313 - soon.
361315 -  ..
361316 - In the meantime, XP can only use generic video driver running Windows
361317 - XP, which is very slow.  This dramatically conflicts with objectives
361318 - for buying the HP computer to increase productivity.

361320 -            [On 101202 1259 called NVIDIA on progress getting device
