1. Has anyone tried this new driver? It was released April 13, 2007.

2. Is the Quadro FX tweak utility needed for this new driver?

The Tweak Utility is always best for Quadro FX cards on Windows XP.

nVidia doesn't have an eCabinet Systems profile built in and the Tweak Utility provides it.

Thanks, Dean.

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to wait to install the new drivers, until someone has tested the new release with eCabinets? I am not familiar with your procedures, and whether at some point you will recommend to update the drivers.

Thanks for your feedback.

Al,
If you want to try the new drivers, set a restore point using System Restore then install the drivers. If you don't like the performance of the new drivers you can use System Restore to run your computer back to the way it was before you installed the drivers.
