The folks over at XFastest have released the leaked Forceware 175.80 drivers for nVidia video cards. These drivers support Quadro FX and GeForce FX (2000/XP only), 6, 7, 8, and 9 series video cards. Since these are leaked, changes in these drivers are unknown, so use at your own risk.

Installation Instructions:
1.) Uninstall the NVIDIA drivers from "Program Add/Remove"
2.) Install and Run Driver Sweeper with "NVIDIA Display" selected. (It's recommended to do this, so that left over data from old graphics drivers don't conflict with the new ones.)
3.) Restart the computer.
4.) Install the new Forceware drivers.
EDIT: I installed the Vista 32-Bit drivers on my Dell Inspiron 9300, which has a GeForce 7800 GTX Go 256 MB. However, it disabled Aero and would not allow me to re-enable it, so I reverted back to the 175.70 drivers.
