Running WinXP SP3 32Bit I am not able to run rig at full capacity due to I believe is a NVIDIA Driver issue. Toned down Q9300 running 2.0 GHz and GSKILL DDR1066 running 400MHz and in non SLI mode for system stability. Driver ver. 174.74 loaded because ver 175.16 crashes or freezes when playing Crysis or COD4 in non SLI/SLI Modes. NVIDIA Driver ver 174.74 works in non SLI mode but sufferes the same effects in SLI mode same problems as with ver 175.16 driver.
