    I can second that, I used 169.04 when I was still running XP. When I switched to those drivers, my 3dmark06 score jumped from 3200 OC'd to almost 4100 OC'd...not too shabby (I have the DDR2 card).

    I downloaded these and tried to install them but was told that the installer could not find the graphics card. Not sure why.
