    Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find it. Where is it? Or did you mean the 186.03?

    Yeah I'm jumping on this bandwagon =-P I could only find 186.03. If that's what you meant, the 186.03 don't seem to have any real advantages over 185.85, apart from integrated stereoscopic 3D Drivers =-/

    They are for desktop video cards. Maybe it will work with Have-Disk method...

    As far as I know, they have only the INFs for the Quadro video cards. I haven't seen for the GeForce ones yet.
