I wonder how many driver versions will have 'Adds mixed vendor support for NVIDIA SLI.' I keep seeing it on each driver release for some time now...

Vikingod

Its ment for all the 80's series releases. The details of specific driver enhancements are in the release notes. The highlights are for the series as a whole. The major addition to this version is the H.264 support,support for GeForce 7300 GS and GeForce 7300 LE GPUs, and New NVIDIA PureVideo features and enhancements.
