As an update to your G400 story - the drivers DO work with the MAX and iDownload
havn´t spoted any lack of functionality (i have 2 monitors as well)
I was having some trouble with my G400MAX on a BP6 with 2x400 celerons so i
installed the new drivers despite the warnings and they work great on my
MAX. I am using Soldier of Fortune as a basis for my claims since before it
crashed my entire system after a few seconds and now it runs fine

Announced at the RSA 2000 Conference in January, PKEnable offers a snap-in public key infrastructure (PKI) security model that lets developers build PKI solutions quickly, adding features such as centralized trust-policy enforcement and security management. The PKEnable Server is built on an industry-standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory and, therefore, can interoperate with standard network directory services.

Sagi send me the follow regarding the new beta voodoo banshee drivers:
In the banshee.inf file the memory clock setting is set to 110 Mhz by
default. This setting can cause desktop lockup problems. I have found that
changing this setting to 100 instead of 110 fixes the lockup problem.
here is the section from the inf file
OLD INF section
[banshee_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
HKR,, InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, banshee
HKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0
HKR,, UseNonBIOSModeSet, %REG_DWORD%, 1
HKR,, memclocking, %REG_DWORD%, 110
NEW inf section
[banshee_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
HKR,, InstalledDisplayDrivers, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, banshee
HKR,, VgaCompatible, %REG_DWORD%, 0
HKR,, UseNonBIOSModeSet, %REG_DWORD%, 1
HKR,, memclocking, %REG_DWORD%, 100
This one change can fix the desktop lockup problem.

Windows 2000 WINS Issues
WINS export memory leak. If you export a large WINS database, the WINS export process leaks memory at the rate of roughly 1MB per minute. If your WINS database is large enough, the export can leak all available memory. According to Microsoft Support Online article Q254387, a WINS snap-in that assists in the export doesn't clear the internal memory cache. Call Microsoft Support for an updated version of winssnap.dll that eliminates the memory leak.
