USB 2.0 QFE Anyway these should be good for Intel USB devices. :)

maxreboot.com I just came across some "new" WHQL drivers from nVidia - version 16.30 to be exact. If anyone still uses drivers older then 2x.xx series for whatever reasons, then you migt want to try these out. Download from the links below:

CL Europe's FTP server has a nice gift for you this morning. This is a new stand-alone driver release of Sound Blaster 4.1 Digital for users running on Windows only.
This release was tested on Sound Blaster 4.1 Digital (Model CT475x) and includes the Creative Minidisc Center patch. It is WHQL certified and will detect the Operating System language and install the relevant language drivers.

Savagenews.com have found a buttload of new Twister and ProSavage Drivers!!!

Hauppauge have released a new WinTV driver version 3.24-19359!!!!!!!!!!

WDM driver for use under Windows XP, Windows98SE, WindowsMe and Windows2000. Note: This driver will work with all WinTV PCI boards, except for the WinTV-D and WinTV-PVR.

There are new drivers available for the Ask Corp. Evil Master II Radeon 8500 based card series. The version numbers are equal or higher compared to the official ATI drivers: Windows XP 3293 Windows 2000 3293 Windows NT4 3288 Windows 9x/ME 7209? According to the Rage3D Forums these drivers are english and a bit ambivalent regarding performance. Seems like Smoothvision is gone from OpenGL tab and some other things. Be sure to read the forums first before installing. We did not test those drivers. This post is FYI only and no download recommendation. Remember our 6.13.10.6011 post which leads to the impression that new official drivers are not too far away.

Thomas Bruckschlegel, from ToMMTi-Systems who is also a registered ATI developer has received a new XP driver set and ran some quick tests with those. The new version number is 6.13.10.6011. Improvements: 3DMark 2001 Default: :: 3286 - 6117 (Game 4 Nature: 27.2)
:: 6011 - 6250 (Game 4 Nature: 40.3) FS 2002, Comanche 4 & Aquamark (Aquanox) problems fixed Different issues with DVI/TV/VGA modes fixed HyperZ II optimizations You can read the complete test via the above link!

Yep that is right! Highpoint-Tech has some new driver sets out including the popular HPT370/372 chipsets. There is hope that the new BIOS/driver combo might fix the performance issue we discussed ealier. I already fired an eMail off to ABIT regarding that matter. Okay here goes: Please note that it is advised to use the latest drivers ONLY with the corresponding BIOS version.
HighPoint BIOS updates for motherboard/HPT IDE controller combinations must be obtained from the motherboard manufacturer.

I can't remember if this has been posted already or not! so here goes :D
