Yeah, that's what I figured. It seems that to get it working optimally, one would need to use 4.0.2. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to play with it ATM. I just needed to throw a card in my box and have it work. My current TNT2 works ok, but the fan on it seems to be dying and the incessant whiring and buzzing noises it's making are driving me mad. I guess my best bet would be a first gen G400. They seem to work in 3.3.6 w/o any mods. So, for now, my G450 will just have to sit in my Windows box.
