How is it? Bcause the previous driver actually worsened performance with SLi enabled.

So I can't install. I download it, and I run it. It extracts fine. When it runs setup, it comes up saying that it can't find any hardware to install on. By the way, I have a GeForce Go 7900 GS, (it's in a Dell Inspiron E1705), if that's of any help.

Is that a laptop? These don't work on laptops unless you have a modified .inf file.
