I thought I'd never complain about "too many" driver updates, but this nVidia thing is getting downright humerous :)

this one is a pass for me. loaded it and reevaluated the machine score in Vista. the graphics value dropped from aa 5.9 to 3.3. it played Halo 2 nicely and all else seemed to performed well though.

Why anyone would install a beta driver unless it had something they absolutely needed is beyond me. Just wait for the final build.

Because their current drivers still suck in Vista.

The last couple of revisions have been really good. I am running the last beta nvida driver and it has been extremely solid on vista 32bit.

When it comes to Vista nVidia drivers, there IS NO final build...
