I won't install anything if your computer is already working fine for you.

yeah im just finding that out now


i went ahead and installed it anyways and now big problems with nvidia control panel

i had to uninstall all nvidia software and drivers (8800gtx driver, ntune, and the motherboard drivers)

then reinstall them all but had to install motherboard drivers first then video card driver then ntune.

otherwise the nvidia control panel was empty??? and took ages to start???

finally got it all workin though???


still wish id left it alone
