question: when uninstalling drivers before installing new ones, when i go to add/remove programs to remove them it says:

remove all nvidea drivers including display
remove all nvidea drivers except display

or something of that matter, which one should i choose?

Remove only the display drivers. The other drivers it's refering to are the chipset and RAID drivers. You want those to stay there. Also, after you remove the display drivers reboot in safe mode and run Driver Cleaner to ensure that all the trace elements of the old drivers are gone. Then reboot and and install the new drivers.

I'll try it when I get home.

I wonder if it'll give me more juice out of my Ti 4600.

heads up for you guys, there are some leaked 76.44 (WHQL) Forceware drivers. They are only for the geforce 6xxx series i understand. I have them installed and they are running like a dream. You can get them from osnn.net here: http://www.osnn.net/comments.php?shownews=11938
