I'm using the 71.89 drivers, and I've no problems at all. I've a GeForce FX 5600 (though I'm quite unhappy with it for other reasons).

Are you sure that this is a drivers issue?

You might wanna elaborate what type of problems you are getting. Quite a few have suggested that 56.72 is the most stable for older cards, give it a try at http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_56.72.html.

yeah, older drivers sometimes works better. I can't use TV-out on my GeForce with the newest drivers.

Is the difference really big? I'm considering buying a 6600, as soon as I get some money to spare. The 5600 is too underpowered for most modern games.
