Hi Fatboy

The secret to keeping your wife "onside" when you want to buy something for your rig is to lure her into buying something that she wants just before you talk about needing to buy something for your "baby".
Works every time, although it costs a lot more!!!!

I usually buy her what ever she wants so she's just yankin' my chain. The main deal is, I just payed the house pmt and light bill Friday (about $950) so I'll have to wait 'till Wed. night when my check goes in the bank.

But the good news is I'm going bigger with the next one

er.... back to drivers..

New Nvidia beta's 175.12:
NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Advanced Search
They are probably out to coincide with the new Vantage benchmark release.. Anyway I'm using them for the moment and seem pretty solid altho' I haven't benched using them yet..

Hotfix Driver for ATI..

This is for the recent release of 3DMark Vantage.. See here for details:
AMD Customer Care

Just a word to the wise.. I was using the 175.12 betas but I was starting to get the odd lock-up and eventually tracked it down to this driver. I've now gone back to using 174.74 beta which seemed to run well..

More Nvidia betas, now at 175.63. Get it here:
download from Guru3D.com
I'm currently downloading and will report back once testing has finished..

Yup they're keepers..(for me at least)

I think it's great that Nvidia is releasing all these drivers actually.. Normally you don't get nothing for months at a time so I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts..
