Nforce 4 drivers for vista

Ive looked everywhere for Nforce drivers for vista with out any luck. In desperation I thought id try the latest xp ones in compatibility mode and success! It has speeded my system up and im very pleased. Just thought id pass the info on for anyone wanting to try the same untill nvidia makes some proper drivers.

Regards

when u say speeded up ur system, what exactly did u use to justify that it has speeded up. And which drivers were u using before hand.

By "speed up" do you mean gaming performance? and if so, which?

I just installed the AMD590SLi drivers and my processor score went from 5.4 to 5.5 slightly odd. Every other score is still maxed out at 5.9. Something else when a X2 5200+@3GHZ is your weakest component LOL.
