Dell Montego II w/Win 2000 Pro

I installed Windows 2000 Pro in my Dell. Need to upgrade the drivers to work w/ Win 2000 Pro. On the
Turtle Beach site, they say to contact Dell about this,
as it's one of the cards made for Dell.

    I'm in the same boat and need help! Windows 2000 has the following listed for this card.
    Aureal Vortex Gameport
    Aureal Vortex 8830 Audio (WDM)

    When I was using win98 the card would be listed as Montego II for all audio hardware related components including the digital I/O add on board that I connected (made by Turtle Beach for this card).

    I'm on an XPS R450 (Pent. II)

    Help!
    (thanks in advance)

    Windows 2000 and Windows XP both have built in support or native drivers for all Vortex based cards. This includes the TB Montego II.

    These cards are based on the Aureal Vortex chipset and that company went out of business so TB can no longer make drivers.

    In any case, you should be fine since Windows 2000 has "native" support so just use the driver it suggests which is on the CD.

    Looks like a lot has changed since I downloaded and installed the TB II drivers from the vortex of sound website. I will keep looking but for now I am at a loss as to where the drivers can be found.

    sorry.
