I have my new rig up and running. My first order of business was to download and install all the current drivers. I planned to start with the Nividia chipset drivers. If I go to Asus, for this board there are two different drivers listed. Each is a two file download. The first is listed as, nVidia Chipset(CK804) 64 bit driver V6.09 (1/2) and nVidia Chipset(CK804) 64 bit driver V6.09 (2/2). The second is listed as nVidia Chipset(CK804) driver version V6.31 for Windows XP/XP/2003 (1/2) and nVidia Chipset(CK804) driver version V6.31 for Windows XP/XP/2003 (1/2). They are both listed here.

If I go to Nvidia, under Platform/nForce Drivers; nForce4 Standalone Kit; Windows XP they have Windows XP - nForce4 Standalone Kit (6.39), here also under Platform/nForce Drivers; Unified Driver; Windows XP they have Windows XP-Unified Driver 5.10, here.


Why does Asus list two different drivers as the current one? What is the difference in the two Nvidia drivers? What are all these for and which do I want to use?

If you're using regular windows xp, you can use either driver (version 6.31). One has support for raid, the other one doesn't. The 64 bit driver is for the beta version of windows 64 xp.
