I beg to differ. I have Windows XP on two machines -- one has a TNT2 card and the other an original Geforce 256, both older cards -- and the newest nVidia driver works like a champ on both. I had a blue screen problem for a while in XP but this no longer occurs, and I believe it was due to an overheating problem which I've since corrected.
These drivers might have been tested by you within the very limited test methodology of making sure the Sachs aquarium works properly with them, but nevertheless I would really hesitate to install a several-years-old 6.47 driver version on a Windows XP system. It's obviously going to be an unsigned driver, and it was obviously developed long before XP was a reality.
It might work just fine, and you might never run into problems, but I think your site is probably the only one on the planet (certainly the only one I have encountered, and I visit a lot of graphics sites) that have such an ancient driver as their "recommended" driver for XP. A blanket statement like "the newest drivers always always ALWAYS make things worse" is just plain, downright false. Everything's just fine on my systems using the latest drivers, thank you very much.
