    There does not seem to be much information on what the best Vista drivers are, especially for the Go chips. I have been using the Dell drivers 97.46. I have been tempted to move to the 158.18 drivers but have not seen much info on stability. How are those drivers working for you so far? Any problems at all? I am trying to squeeze more fps out of MS Flight Simulator X.

    Well this may not be true for everybody but my best vista 32bit drivers have been the XGM 101.70 drivers. These drivers, while not the newest, have consistently outperformed all other vista drivers I've tried, including 158.18, 101.41, and 100.64.
