Ok I'll get jiggy today too with a ver. of drivers, lol. These are from MSI and should work for most. My server is limited too 10 meg so I had too split them. ( These are only found on MSI's LiveUpdate2 )

I love my MSI board

OP
w00t !
do they fix the sound disstortion in metal gear solid 2 substance ?
Well I took the time to really dig into the different packages. Newer files are bold. Personally I cant use the audio on my 7njs so Im using the 2.05 for the newer/*hopefully* better agp driver. Im thinking of playing with a little mix and matching of my own of different drivers to incorporate all the newest individual files into a single package. If anyone would be interested in using, post ideas/suggestions/wants or new files anyone might find and Ill see what I can cook up. PM if you need to talk to me.

I couldnt find the 2.41s at the link you posted. I did however find the 2.42s. You said use the 2.41 without ide driver, but isnt that what the 2.42 was supposed to be? Also I tried the 2.41s when they came out and the 2.42s to see if the rumors were true and sure enough both corrupted my hard drive. They worked great until you went to uninstall them. The uninstaller deleted the nvide.sys from system drivers folder but did not tell windows to look for the standard ide driver upon restart. So after uninstall on first reboot you get an error message "cannot find nvide.sys please reinstall" you could reinstall it from a floppy if you had access to another computer and knew where to put it. It was a really bad problem in the uninstaller that it seems nVidia could have fixed by now.

Are the IDE controlers still SCSI or have changed to IDE?
I want to know this, otherwise I'll use the oldest drivers. :-?

I'm using the 2.42's with my A7N8X Deluxe 2.0 w/2 WD Raptors in RAID 0, haven't had a single problem with data corruption yet. The new Silicon Image 1.0.0.33 drivers seem to have sped things up a fraction...
