    What drivers do you recommend for Vista 64Bit and Intel Xeon X3360, SLi 8800MGTX and 4GB Ram?

    What software should I be looking at? I haven't used windows in a very, very long time so please excuse my ignorance.


    Thanks

    174.90 is one of the best newer ones i've heard. I use the 167.xx Clevo release drivers cuz they dont have powermizer built into it. For some reason Powermizer cuzes issues with my computer. so try 174.90. If you notice that games are very choppy that shouldnt be, go back to anything before 169. I doubt you'll have a problem with that system tho lol.

    for me i did this.

    installed vista x64. then sp1 after that
    then went to the direct x website and downloaded all the latests dx9 updates
    then went back to update center and got more updates.
    disabled UAC windows defender and and windows firewall (biggest gripe i have with vista)

    finally after all that updating.

    installed all the drivers that came with my laptop on the dvd except for

    the video card - went to laptopvideo2go and got me 175.75 drivers, although the latest ones of 177.39 is pretty good to and stable according to others who have used it.

    the sound drivers i went to www.realtek.com.tw and downloaded the latest hd audio codecs these are version 1.96

    after all that updating and installation i had a beer :D its quite tough sitting there waiting for things to finish and restarting :D

    finally installed all the programs and software and bloatware that i require.
