    1-If you have XP on an SLi1, what drivers are you using?

    2-[just some observation in search of feedback of almost any kind] So XP is in. I was using 174.93 with Vista, but they crashed XP when I enabled SLI [the XP version of the drivers of course]. The 169.28 seemed to have settled in well enough and SLI says it is enabled. I haven't got around to games or 3DM06 yet.

    It feels like V-driver changing seems much less stable or something.... it all goes black for too long when changing drivers and going into SLI mode, although the installing part seem to go [almost too] quickly compared to Vista.

    Using 174.12 here... Actually any driver has worked so far (except for 174.93 which have a problem with SLI under XP)...

    I've been running 169.09 since it came out in October (???). It performs well, overclocks and runs SLi well. I keep looking at the feedback for newer drivers, but haven't seen any reason to experiment yet.

    btw, congrats on "upgrading" to XP!
