Cool. Shame though, I just had to wipe out all the drivers and reinstall
them yesterday - think I solved my networking driver reinstall problem
though (that will teach me to try and install the wrong drivers on purpose!)

Hmm, version 4.27, the version that wants to install the 4.24 directory by
default. The file download that is identical (to the byte) in download size
of the 4.24s. The drivers that contain the exact same file versions as
4.24s. The new drivers that contain the same readme with the same
individual driver versions as the old ones.

The drivers that are the 4.24s. In every way, shape and form, except the
filename.

Guess that was a waste of time then.

If anybody downloads them and finds they have actually been updated, please
let us know.

That was the "english" version, now downloading the internationals to see if
thats new (should be, there wasn't an international 4.24).

You're absolutely right! I hadn't downloaded them yet, just saw the updated
web page. Looks like they just renamed the main download executable.
Hopefully, the webmaster will be swapping out the old renamed file for the
real 4.27 file sometime today.

Do a checksum comparison on them

The international ones seem updated.

So grab those.

Ethernet driver for 32bit is 4.3.3, not 4.4.2 as suggested. The Soft-NPU is
442, whatever that is, doesn't install on an nForce2. Perhaps the NRM
driver for nForce3. Whatever, it seems to work.

So... Audio and Ethernet are updated.

I wonder what the ethernet changes are? I suspect the Audio are the usual
set of game fixes...
