Big C, yer a tool - if you have no idea, its best to say nothing
I'm using the driver from the EVOC website now (not the beta driver), but i'm still confused ... from both the EVOC and nvidia website ... I can select the driver for the 8800 series OR the geforce ... but the nividia website only has drivers for a 64bit OS (vista home is 32) ... I assume I want the geforce driver, but can I use the 8800 series driver?

nVidia should have a driver update for vista. Just go to either eVga's site or nVidia's site and look for your card, then click downloads and download the latest driver.

There are only one type of driver for a certain type of video card. There is not a best driver. The driver is only the middleman to transfer instructions back and fourth between card and computer. Now with Vista you may have problems as not ALL programs are Vista ready. Some things that work with windows will not work with Vista, but that will be slowly changing.
I was going to get a new computer but I will wait 6 months till the main bugs are worked out of Vista.
