No, they're NOT. And yes they ARE. Look before you start yelling about stuff.

Do the international one, that's always whql, and the english-only one usually isn't. (Or, what they said above.)

This install reset my overlay setting making video playback too bright in wmp11. I had to play with the settings again to fix it.

What is forceware? Is it the same as video drivers, but for older cards or is this the nvidia chipset drivers for motherboards?
