I just upgraded my GF4 driver (software, not hardware) to a Forceware driver last night. This gives the GF4 digital output, enable the 4 yrs old PC to have analogue output to a 6 yrs old monitor and at the sametime, have video output to HDMI port for my brand new Acer H530 projector (The old projector lamp burned out ). Apparantly the GF4 driver stopped at 2005, i used their website to find an updated suitable driver and it worked! yup, a 6 yr old PC mon and a 4yr 64 MB video card..............whats the point? Obsolete or not, depends on the user , I can say my hometheatre system shines among todays unit, even though it is more than a few yrs age.
