Nvidia today announced the immediate availability of its new Windows Hardware Qualification Labs (WHQL) certified ForceWare driver in the shape of 71.89 for Windows 2000/XP.

This release comes only a month (http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29311) after Nvidia released a new set of drivers for all OS's, however this release, though a nice surprise, is only for Windows 2000 and XP. And yes, this is the same driver that leaked out last week as reported on here (http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30642&highlight=71.89).

Download: Nvidia ForceWare 71.89 WHQL (2000/XP) (http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/71.89/71.89_win2kxp_english.exe) (18.9 MB)

Release Highlights:

-Support for the GeForce 6200 with TurboCache™, NVIDIA PureVideo™, and NVIDIA SLI™
-Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0c and OpenGL® 1.5 support

These drivers are reported to be pretty good, so I recommend giving them a whirl.
