Default 6800 drivers

because the nvidia site always suggests the latest drivers, and i know from
experience that sometimes older driver sets work better with older cards,
and some of us value the opinion of other users.
i'm sorry if it causes you offence, but sometimes latest isn't greatest.
another point is that there are at least 2 different 3rd party driver sets
for both nvidia and ati, with little experience of these, rather than
download, say, 5 sets of each (15 driver sets) and go through the rigmarole
of running 3dmark on each, then uninstalling (being careful to remove all
traces) before trying the next...
forgot to mention, o/s xp pro sp2, athlon64 3k, 1gb ram (well behind the
times, i know)

any constructive comments welcome,
thanks

got myself a 2nd hand 6800, passive cooled (low budget, and noise!) i'm
guessing the later drivers dont address any issues for this card, so what
would be the best, stable version suitable? i'm sure this may be a can of
worms, and things are subjective, but opinions welcomed.
thanks

Why are people always asking for drivers for this and that
card - Just go to Nvidias site and it will ask what card u
have, what operating sys u have - and then it will give u
the latest driver. If it is xp u run it will suggest ver 94.24
