    Just did a fresh format to XP and I'm wondering what driver revision you guys are using. The current revision I'm using (168.89?) has studdering issues.

    171.16 vista 32 home premium on G2S (same deal).

    Can we include some 3DMark06 scores? On Factory clock speeds I scored a 3996 (see sig).

    I use 169.21 and I'm happy so far. Got 4281 for 3dMark06 and its about 20+ higher than 169.04 drivers but i don't think ill switch just yet until i see a score diff from 171 series with 169 series.

    G1S-B1, no OC. Got XP 32bit on it though :D

    2.4ghZ
    2GB Ram
    8600GT 512

    Think only difference with my model and others is the 2.4 cpu and possible XP if you install it, but i dont think it would make that much of a difference with the CPU. With XP, idk really. Could be better for gaming although i dont have any complaints with Vista.
