Snow Leopard & GeForce 256?

[jade44V]

Quick question, I have the new GeForce 256 graphics card installed with no problems. The other night I ran the software update (before Snow Leopard arrived) and upon restart I got a kernel panic and the machine kept telling me to restart over and over. I swapped the GeForce with the stock graphics card and everything went back to normal.

I just installed Snow Leopard. Does anyone have any idea if the GeForce 256 driver is compatible with Snow Leopard? I don't want to bother swapping them out again just to find the answer, I was hoping maybe someone here might know.

I checked online to find an updated driver but can't find one.

Thanks.

I don't think it's possible to have a GeForce 256 on an Intel Mac.

What's the stock card?

My bad- sorry, it's a GTX 285.

Check EVGA

Are you sure you updated to the latest drivers provided by EVGA? They updated them more recently to prevent a major issue when upgrading to Snow Leopard. That issue could very well be the one you described.
