Default Stability vs. Performance

Regarding drivers, and going back as far as the first drivers released and
up to the current release, which one is the most stable on a winxp pro
system? Performance matters, but stablity is the top priority. This is for
the GeForce 7800 GS.

Thanks in advance

1 gig DDR 3200 400Mhz Memory
eVGA Geforce 7800 GS 256
SB Audigy2
2 Seagate SATA drives set as RAID 0
Sony DVD
Plextor CDRW
Cheap piece of junk 15" LCD monitor (plan on upgrading that next)

Of the ones I've used, 84.21. But I haven't had any stability
issues with my current version (91.33 on a 7800GS+), at
least not yet.

How long's a piece of string? ;-) I had to drop 84.21 because my LCD
panel kept blanking, which didn't happen when I got to 91.33. I tried
an in-between (something.26) and that one had other issues for me. My
card was shipped with a 70 series driver and DVD playback was broken
with that. Seems there's a driver out there for everybody, you just
have to find it! For me, thank God, the latest has been a cure all and
i can actually forget drivers and use the machine in peace! ;-))
