- It's been 4 months now since their last WHQL drivers. And so many versions out there, a whole mess! Newer versions with old timestamps and vice versa. What are they thinking... a quarter of a year and still betas. Hopefully these will take the WHQL mark.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend these for cards older than the 8xxx series! Stick to the older drivers for now, unless you like bugs. -

Well, for my 8600 GT and most other cards in the 8xxx series, 169.25 from LAST YEAR are still the newest WHQL drivers available.

- Does it mean there is nothing much for us the 8600 GTS users?

- Yes, us 8600GTS users are left behind
Nvidia seem to be almost solely concerntrating on the 9 series now, while I understand the 8600 cards are over a year old now, I was kinda hoping they wouldn't cut driver support so short.
I also noticed you have to have a 9 series card if I want Aero during Blu-Ray/HD-DVD playback...I think I can live without that somehow
It seems these days Nvidia is more concerned about constantly releasing new cards rather then continuing support for the current ones. I do hope they do release some new official (non-beta) drivers that arn't just for the 9 series (and low end 8 series) but somehow I doubt it, I think we'll see the 10 series before that (and I suspect the 10 series could even be out this year too)...

- I'm also a fan of the Xtreme-G drivers. I think I'll wait for their release.

- So, for my 8400M GS, do I have to wait for Dell to release their own version of this?

- Awesome! I'm bookmarking that site, I really felt left in the dust with Dell not updating their drivers for ages (I'm currently using the 156.69 version.

There is a good reason Dell does not update their drivers everytime Nvidia comes up with an update; unless there is significant performance or stability benifits Dell sticks to the most stable drivers known for the video chipset. The mobile video chipsets are Dell modded (OEM/ODM) so try the laptopvideo2go drivers at your own risk.
