Installed them the other day. Finally some decent IDE drivers! XP loads atleast 5 seconds faster with this driver set than with the previous release.
Fair warning: Uninstall ALL nVidia drivers (including your display drivers) before installing. Lets just say you'll risk fubaring your windows install if you don't. (I left the 53.03 dets installed, and the nForce installer corrupted the /windows/system/config dir.)
Trick I used to get these drivers installed:
1. Uninstall both nforce and dets and rebooting.
2. Hit cancel to all driver install prompts and install nForce drivers. Reboot.
3. Install 53.03 dets (I didn't go any higher since I only have a GF3 so going any further wouldn't benefit me any.) and reboot.
Took a whopping two minutes to do.
