geforceFX5600 256mb pci

need some help here i was wondering what drivers would be the best for my card for games like Star wars knights of the old republic 2 and half life 2.....and was also wondering if the latest dhzeropoint drivers the 71.89's had any performance tweaks or if you guys plan on releasing a set of drivers that are performance instead of quality.....any help would be great! ^_^

I would personally recommend the NGO 73.00s, which can be found at http://www.guru3d.com. Alternatively, you could always try out the 66.93s at OmegaDrivers.net. I've always liked the Omega drivers. I highly advise you give 'em a try.

yeah its not too bad it runs hl2 and css allright and it runs gta SA pretty good but if you have an agp slot by all means get an agp version lol....but if all you have is pci i think there might be a pci version of the 6600 floating around.
