Taken from the Geforce FAQ:

There is one upgrade that has been produced by Creative for the Annihilator Pro - however, it has been leaked and is not available officially on their website (it is not really meant for all users at the moment). You can download it from the following website: http://www.xs4all.nl/~bmsmit/
under the Random Stuff / NVIDIA-based videocards / Creative / Annihilator Pro / 2.10.07.02.12 section.

This BIOS version is supposed to fix problems with the Annihilator Pro only displaying 16MB of RAM detected on bootup.

You can also use an NVIDIA reference BIOS: see the 'Where can I get the latest NVIDIA Flash BIOS and which should I use?' question.

Be warned that using the NVIDIA BIOS will void your warranty. Also, check your card's current BIOS version as some cards already have a more up to date BIOS than the NVIDIA BIOS that is available. Check this by rebooting and looking at the screen that comes up before the POST screen - the control panel applet does not give a reliable reading of the CL BIOS version (read the 'How do Creative's BIOS versions differ from NVIDIA's BIOS versions?' question for the reason why).

Have any of you guys tried it? Is it better? More stable? Any difference?
