Default Leadtek Winfast A350 TDH LX (FX5900) a few questions


I have a Leadtek Winfast A350 TDH LX (FX 5900) card. I installed the
latest driver from the Leadtek website (they call it a 'Winfast
driver') and the card gets renamed to 'Winfast A350' on the Win XP
device manager.

The driver version is 53.03 which is the same version number as the
latest 'Forceware' driver on the Nvidia website. Is it the same? Why
do Leadtek produce their own driver? Is it just a form of cheap
advertising/vanity that they want you to know that you have a Leadtek
product? If so, then conversely, it should be possible to install the
Leadtek driver on any non-Leadtek FX5900? Are all FX5900's not just
the same thing electronically; just in different physical packaging?

The bottom line is that I want to know if their is any disadvantage
uninstalling it and going with the standard Forceware driver from
Nvidia?

Additionally, this card has two fans. Is it possible to control their
speed through software? (part of the same question I suppose).


Dan
