Default Latest Nvidia Drivers v196.75
In case everyone has not heard about Nvidia's recent brillance, they apparently released a buggy driver this month and it can turn your gpu into a paper weight.
Read more about it here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us

To make a long story short my GeForce 8600GT cooked itself yesterday.

Sounds like they did you a favor. New card time!

Well they didn't do me any favors but they certainly helped ATI. I grabbed a Radeon 4650 as a quick replacment so I could use my computer but i'm gonna get a 5000 series in a week or two. Been looking at this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150463

The performance difference between that one and the $500 cards are not even noticable on most application.
