I've currently got a 8800GTX and a 8500GT in my PC because I need support for 3 monitors.

Been thinking about swapping out the 8800GTX for a GTX 260. But then I just noticed that the 200 series is using a different driver than the what the 8000 series is using. Will I run into problems with this? Can I install both the 175.19 and the 177.41 drivers on my PC at the same time?

You're going to have to use just 1 driver. NVIDIA tends to be pretty good about supporting the entire 8/9/200 line with the same drivers (other than the launch drivers for the GTX2xx) so you should be fine with something like the 177.79 drivers.

Edit: Doh, beaten
