    I love my new machine. Great system and it rips up games. I was checking my driver software version on my display driver today however, and it seems to be really out of date. What is the consensus on 8800gts drivers these days? I want to upgrade to a newer driver, but see a lot of different post with people different versions. Thanks for helping a noob.

    I can run Crysis on max res. at very high ( physics, shaders, shadows High) at 20-23 fps but I usually run it on medium, max resolution, 30-35 FPS :D
