Release Highlights:
-Added support for GeForce 6800 series of GPUs
-Added support for PCI-Express

-Fixed problem that prevented 32-bit kernel driver from running on certain 
AMD64 CPUs.

should be included when reporting bugs to NVIDIA.

That last one is intriguing... I'm wondering what advantages that might hold 
for HDTV...
