I recently came across some new NVIDIA drivers for Win2k/XP and I thought I would share them with you. This driver is dated 22nd of January and its version is 42.81. I believe this is the latest NVIDIA driver available at this time. If you fancy trying it, click on Read More for more info and download.

P.S. I haven't gone AWOL Newsfactory, I was just deep deep deep undercover (lol) Update: Looks like today is Nvidia Detonator day. Just received the information, that Guru3d has Detonator 42.86 available.

NVIDIA 4.2.8.1 BETA DETONATOR DRIVER FOR Windows 2000/XP

driver dated 01/22/2003 (22nd of January 2003) full Multilanguage generic release supports all NVIDIA desktop/workstation cards to date preliminary support for NV31, NV31GL and NV34, NV34GL chipsets fully DirectX 9 compatible driver installs NVIDIA MediaCenter by default (can be disabled) should offer increased performance over recent 42.xx drivers BETA driver - unsupported by NVIDIA - install only at your own risk!

I'm afraid this driver is currently unavailable for Win9x/ME. However, I was told a while ago by NVIDIA that new drivers should be posted "soon" on official NVIDIA website, and that would of course include drivers for Win9x/ME operating system.

Thanks go out to David (again) for mirroring the drivers for us. When more mirrors are available, I will list them here later. For now, feel free to download from the ones below.
