I'm running the 32 bit version of Windows Home Premium. I've been debating picking up an 8800 GTS video card, but I'm leary because I heard the 8k series drivers are not up to par.

How are the drivers currently?

Heh, they better be good, or at least be good for the x64 version of ultimate :p

I'm running Ultimate 32 bit with the 8800GTX. I installed the latest driver for the card last week and all seems to be good. One wrinkle however, when I restart the computer out of sleep mode more often than not I will get a blank, black screen on my monitor. Not a biggy, I just turn off the monitor and turn it on again and everything is fine. This never happens while running apps just startup from sleep. I read the driver notes and it is a known defect. Hopefully to be fixed on the next update.
But other than that it seems great to me.
Hope this is a help.

64bit is a whole other ballgame though. Perhaps I'll deinstall it and put the 32bit on it :p
