the storage drivers are supposedly faster then the windows default drivers...it said something about reducing the bottleneck

The storage drivers are said to promote instability when OCing... however, I use them on my 170 rig b/c they're required to run my raid array. ...and I really didn't notice a difference in speed or stability when I installed them.

Did you use Drivercleaner after un-installing the older ones?
I un-installed the old ones, I also un-installed my forceware too, booted into safemode, ran drivercleaner to remove Nvidia, nvidia nforce chipset, and whatever nvidia stuff was on there, booted back into XP, installed nforce, and then new forceware drivers after re-boot.
