I'll wait a bit for the fallout before upgrading this time. James
From: Carlos on 25 Mar 2010 15:31 James, I agree with you that there's no need to install these kind of drivers (both NVidia and ATI) as soon as they come out, though I am usually tempted to do so. :) 90% of the changes in each release is focused in squeezing out +0.04% on games and +0.1% on benchmarks. Just check NVidia "Release Highlights" and it will come clear. No real benefits for the real user. :) Carlos "James Kosin" wrote: > On 3/25/2010 11:43 AM, Maratonmannen wrote: > > > > http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_197.13_whql.html > > > > Are they sure this one isn't going to follow the same path as the last > and cause any hardware issues.... like flames coming out of the computer > case? > > I'll wait a bit for the fallout before upgrading this time. > > James > . >

The only difference is that it just got its certification. It's well-tested, though. Tom Lake |
