The new IDE/Sata drivers are the biggest improvements here. There was a bug with 6.69 if you had NCQ and Read caching on, x64 would sometimes boot extremely slowly. These drivers are good, no problems at all. Though I have one question, I have no IDE drivers, but they did install for my SATA controller, is that normal? I will post a screenshot of this. I remember having the drivers installed for all controllers, but not this time.

Also using the 91.31 Forceware drivers, the new control panel confuses me.

 

Select the classic view (from inside the nVidia User Control Panel) to get the old panel back.

this driver seems good so far, although i had some problems with opening "MY Computer", you know, the problem when your pc thinks too long to show you the list of the Disks you got...and then problem with my asio driver in foobar..i had to change to creative asio instead of using the creative audigy 2 asio...so then i reinstalled it and then it's been great...previously BF2 crashed quite often after some rounds of online play...and then i decided to look up for new nVidia driver and BIOS...yeah i flashed mine to the 406, and i think it's a pretty nice BIOS...and now i have no probs with lots of rounds of BF2...but i don't really know if it's the nVidia driver or the BIOS...the previous driver was the 6.70 and the prev. BIOS was 702BTA

The nf4 active armour feature has a hardware bug, something about when you choose to offload TCP packets it can cause data corruption.

 

so Sharp whats the deal for a new os install,, install IDE SW but NOT the active armor thing???

I would steer clear of IDE SW and Active Armor completely!
