I squeezed a little more out of my gpu with them (Seems a bit more stable). I haven't cranked my chip up yet. I'll do it tomorrow.

this is only for vista, I have xp and I have had 93.71 (the current release) for about 3 months

you should put vista in the title, or at least in the thread

97.94 is the current WHQL certified for Windows XP. The release mentioned above (158.22) also has a Windows XP version, albeit, Beta.

I don't know what caused the crash i mentioned a couple posts back, but i uninstalled/cleaned/reinstalled and they worked fine.

Guess everyone else on the DX9 stuff isn't going to get any more new drivers then. I've been on the same ones for about 7 months now.
