Rancho*: Looks like Hilbert jumped the gun. The build number ist exactly the same in OpenGL. These are not newer perhaps just recompiled. That's all! Update from Mark@Maxreboot: If you're on 56k and you have already downloaded 27.42 drivers previously, don't bother with these. They're not faster or better in any way then the original 27.42 set.
I was told by a FAE that these drivers should get WHQL certification soon and some nVidia OEM's will put these up for download as an update to 27.20 and 27.30 drivers already posted by some manufacturers.

Guru3d.com Last week Detonator 27.42 drivers have leaked. Today I was able to get my hand on newer version Detonator 27.42 drivers. These are .zip based and come directly from NVIDIA.
The OpenGL libraries are actually dated 14.02.2002. NVIDIA apparently finished them at midnight.

I compared the drivers with those from last week and found out they are newer (save date) and belong to the series 25 driver set. These are the "golden" drivers sent in for WHQL certification and I have replaced this version with the ones from last week.

NVchips-fr have modded the leaked Nvidia Detonator driver 27.42 so that now the refresh rate fix works again on Windows 2K/XP.

New drivers for the following TerraTec soundcards are available. XFire 1024 and SiXPack 5.1+ drivers are Win98SE/ME only: SoundSystem DMX 6fire 24/96 | 06.02.2002 SoundSystem DMX - XFire 1024 | 13.02.2002 SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1+ | 13.02.2002 Read more for the links.

New drivers, labeled Amigamerlin 2.1 for Voodoo 3/4/5 for Win XP 2.1 appeared Tuesday evening on Voodoofiles.com. I noticed these drivers, and downloaded them to give them a benchmark. The drivers to beat were definately the most recent Cuneyt drivers, as they enabled nearly every option in 3dfx tools, so one might tweak their card into oblivion (and good framerates too).

Inno3d & eVGA have released their own brand of Detonator drivers.

I surfed to the VIAArena to see what has changed and this is what they said: This patch, for all Microsoft Operating Systems, will increase the burst rate with the following RAID controller chips: Adapttech, Acard, Highpoint and Promise. This may not be noticeable in overall Hard Disk performance benchmarks as burst rate is not measured separately and only makes up a small percentage of Hard Disk performance. This patch can be used on all VIA chipsets. The driver in this zip file is the viapfd.sys version 1.05. This file was last updated on 7 February 2002. The change from the previous version is that it fixes an error message that would sometimes appear in the event viewer. Click on Read More... for direct download links.
