Subject: Re: [eqbards] [OT] Nvidia Drivers


Did they actually RELEASE these or is the 6.18 driver off a "leak" site?

I'm not exactly on top of their latest drivers since I *rarely* upgrade
drivers unless I'm having a problem of some kind or I see several people
stating that the new ones are worth the upgrade.
