updating nForce drivers...re: installation of display driver

I cannot find anywhere on the ASUS website (for my A7N8X/plain Rev.2 mobo)
support/drivers for "nForce2" (ie. to get the Ultra400 Memory
Controller)...so I assume nVidia is the only support for those drivers? I'm
currently running on a very old nForce2 driver set (v.2.0).

The v.2.45 nF2 drivers were the 1st (I believe) to add support for the
Ultra400 Memory Controller...the latest nForce2 version at nVidia's website,
is version 3.13 and many are reporting issues installing (so maybe i'll
install the 2.45 1st?). There are also a ton of folks who are "disappointed"
with the performance of the 52.16 display driver included in 3.13.

ALSO...

I have an ASUS V8420 Deluxe video card (using ASUS driver v44.71A and nVidia
WDM capture driver) . The nForce2 website recommends uninstalling all nVidia
drivers using Add/Install. Would I have to uninstall anything (other than
the nVidia capture driver), because it's ASUS's drivers I use for display?

OR ... during installation is there a "custom" install? Where you can choose
which drivers to load? I would just exclude "display driver" from updating
(and audio drivers 'cuz i have a sound card), and then I wouldn't have to
uninstall my display and vid-capture drivers 1st? 'cuz they advise
uninstalling any nVidia drivers first.

Hope I was clear enuf ...
Thank you in advance for your assistance & Cheers!!

Everyone I have seen in this NG is using the NVidia drivers. 2.45
works great for me.

I could be totally wrong here, but I wouldn't have thought drivers
woul control the memory controller, that is down to the BIOS.

WTF? Diplay drivers in motherboard chipset drivers?
 
I would expect sound drivers as it is integrated into my motherboard.
I don't have an NVidia graphics card, integrated or otherwise.

If you have the non-dlx A7N8X you'll need the Realtek WDM drivers if you
want to use more then just the front speakers and have the volume mixers
to go with it.

I put a Audigy 2 in mine after using the onboard for almost 6 months,
wasn't too bad, but the onboard low end (BASS) sucked.

I have The A7N8X del ver2.0 with a ATI Radeon Video Card and I installed the
new nForce drivers quite easily.I expanded the file into a
directory...removed the video drivers and then exe the set up.
all worked well
