Note that the last number the .65 is the correct number.
With differnt versions of Vista drivers both 32 bit and 64bit and many
different card/chip types it it appears that the first 3 sets of number
idendify the specific drivers for your card. It appears that the 100.
number is used to identify an entire family of card and OS specific
individual drivers with the same set of software features.
