Can someone explain what WHQL-certified means? |

Windows Hardware Quality Labs. It means that the driver has passed MS Windows testing and deemed compatible with the operating systems the driver is designed for (XP, Vista , 7). It's Microsoft's seal of approval. Downloaded...driver swept...installed |

If you use the Nvidia system tools to over/underclock, you might have problems with this release. Installed it last night and the only choice I have for custom clock speeds now is 0 MHz. Looked around and a bunch of other people are having this problem too. |

Buggy!!!!! The control panel just keeps crashing since installation. I never had to do a clean removal of the previous versions before installing a new one... Maybe I will do that with this version and see if the problem continues or not. |

Maybe I will do that with this version and see if the problem continues or not. No problems with W 7 Ultimate x64. But then, I use EVGA Precision GPU adjusting and monitoring. |
