    Can You Help? 29.42 or 30.82??

    having just installed my new Leadtek A250LE TD MyVIVO, I cant decide as what drivers I should use?? I have heard only good thing about the above two but dont know which one to go for - what would you suggest from personal experiance. I am more after stability than speed - if that helps.

    You got to try them both and see which ones are faster for your system. I presonally use the 29.42 and like them a lot.

    29.42's are like rocks for most people. Though its a secondary concern for you, most people also find 29.42 faster too.

    i use 30.82 becuase i play a LOT diablo2 and when played in 2D mode.. it doesn't have lag!!! yahoo!!

    becuase diablo2 was made better for 3dfx, and of course my old voodoo 3 3500 played it very well, i had a very hard time getting used to the lag with my gf2 gts-v, but now in 2D mode with these drivers, i'm very happy

    29.42's here, and I am very happy with their performance. And stability is never an issue with Nvidia, at least with my experiance.
