- Let's hope these are better than the ones released yesterday. I had to revert to the original ones because I couldn't even get videos to play!

- Would be nice if they would release some new drivers for the 7800 Go GTX... having to modify inf files to make the drivers install is too much effort for me...

- i don't recommend inf modding, quite a few times the drivers are just not meant for the card you want them to run on.
sometimes they work fine but i found a few vista drivers didn't work at all well on my 7600gt after using a modded inf. -

- I know thats why its too much effort, because you could go though so many problems and it doesn't even improve anything (like last time I tried it)
