Default vista boot time/graphics drivers

anyone else notice how long it takes to boot? lol

even on a core 2 duo t7200 and 2 gigs of ram it takes a good chunk of time to load the os and the programs set to run at boot.

anyway, i have an nvidia 7400 go in this 13.3" laptop, and i am wondering, what is the best driver to use? (stability has priority over speed)

thanks!

About 3x longer than XP for me.

The latest vista drivers are the most stable most likely.
