    Hey guys,
    Those of you running Windows Vista 32 bit, what video drivers for the 8600gt have you found to be the best. I know that one laptop site has a bunch of drivers but some people were complaining that they crash their MBP. Has anyone tried and approved of some good Vista video drivers?

    I know people have had success for 162.18, and they apparently show an increase in performance over previous versions (I think it was MasterChef or Wave or Nicholie, I'll go check). I think they may have been using XP though.

    As long as you don't want to overclock, I think 162.18 are the most popular. When I get my MBP, I'll test a bunch of drivers out in Vista, so I could give you a better idea then.

    Lets hope people with more experience have some opinions. :D
