GRAPHICS FIRM Nvidia has released a 64-bit driver for Windows XP 64. The 12MB or so download is the first release to support Opterons, Athlon 64 and Athlon FX51 microprocessors. Nvidia claims it gives better image quality for certain graphics features, and also has a special version of Nview.
The firm also said it has a new user friendly interface – as opposed, presumably, to the old user hostile one. What"s interesting here is that we reckon this is a precursor to some 64-bit Athlon games. Also, workstations that use the AMD chip no doubt will benefit from the driver.
