New NV drivers - XP/Vista WHQL and Vista Beta

[aaronjb]

New drivers up across the board: XP (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_158.22.html), XP64 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_158.22.html), Vista32 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_158.18.html), Vista64 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_158.18.html). Also beta for Vista32 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_158.24.html) and Vista64 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_158.24.html).

Installing the 64-bit beta Vista drivers now. Will soon be installing the XP64 drivers - hope scaling finally works properly.

Edit: The XP driver are for 8800-based cards. No update for earlier cards.

The 158.18 driver that you (and I) downloaded the other week said Beta on the main download page, It now does not.
Odd that the number didnt change.

so its new drivers for the 8800s... mabey i should update my drivers lol... and COME ON NVIDIA ya ya you guys have the 8800s but i feel for the other peeps that still have good last gen cards that want new drivers... heck the last driver update for xp and a 7 series and below was... umm HALF A YEAR AGO!

*holly friggin jezus its been that long since i bought my main rig! more than half a year ago jezus seems just like yesterday i bought my new rig and was starting senior year... god damn its going by fast*

oh and btw yesterday started out a big bummer... n e one hear about the head on crash on the 126 in filmore / piru area... well i was pretty much right behind the lady that went into other lanes... needless to say seing a dead body close up (after i stopped traffic, and checked the other people) definetly makes you love life!

Scaling under XP64 works for me now. Finally. No more streched 4:3 stuff on the widescreen monitor.

I think NVidia has tacitly abandoned support for pre-8800 cards.
