96.xx is said to be on the way according to the forums, but it has been a long time since the last release and they are so closed about dates or releases or anything. I sure won't be buying Nvidia again by choice, but I've had this computer and graphics card for 5 years so can't complain too much. The nv driver just doesn't quite cut it though. -Dan
