Default What driver, please

I have WinXPro SP2

NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT Display Adaptor.


I cannot find the _exact_ new driver for this card, and I know I am probably
2 updates behind. I know that putting in the wrong driver is not a good
thing for me

Can anyone give me the URL for the exact driver? The NVIDIA site doesn't
show the exact driver and I don't want to play hit and miss.

Thanks,
Bob

One size more or less fits all. nVidia supplies a 'unified driver' package
that works for all recent nVidia GPU video cards. You have a series 7
nVidia GPU and Windows XP. That's all you need to know; just select from
the nVidia driver page

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

Also consider that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you are not having
issues, why do you want to change the driver?

Which is why he said "you have a series 7 ... That's all you need to know".
