So has anyone tried 174.44 with an 8800GT? and/or does SP1 sort out the BSOD/driver issues?
Actually it'll be just my luck if Overclockers tell me there's nothing wrong with my card and I'll have to pay to get it back.
Perils of being being a (technically stupid) early adopter I suppose.

Cheers, John

I'm not running the 8800 gt, I have a pair of 8800 gts/640 and have installed sp1 as well, and using the 174.74 drivers and haven't had any issues at all....

. at least with the drivers.... only problems have been behind the keyboard
