Default What nvidia driver are you using..?

I have a tiny 9500GT and it's clock as far as it'll go.

I recently installed the Extreme-G 185.81 drivers and I'm getting lock ups in COD4. My clocks are at 750/1709/551 and with the E-G driver I'm getting a comfortable 85-125 fps on all high....but, also the lock ups.

My gpu never gets over 57c and my cpu never gets over 41c.

Could my cards RAM be getting too hot maybe? (But I have heat sinks rigged on them with OCZ Freeze.)

Or is it the driver you think?

I was using the 182.50 for the longest but tried the 186.18 from nvidia and didn't like it. This Extrem-G really smokes but I'm wondering if it's causing these lock ups..?

What driver do you guys use and are they good?

Just drop me some opinions so I'll know what to go grab if ya'll don't mind.

185 drivers are crap IMO, avoid them.
182 or the new 186 drivers run well.

Good looking out.
