    Nvidia have today finally released new drivers for Windows Vista 32-bit (I think there may be 64 bit ones available too, haven't checked). They are version 158.18.
    They have now broken the old unified driver tradition and split them into separate releases for Geforce 6, 7 and 8 series, and then a unified driver for all older cards. Hopefully this will resolve the 8800 series performance problems in Vista. I'm not lucky enough to know, not having an 8800 series card :)
