Thanks but....

* This driver is WHQL certified for all GeForce 7 series and a limited number of GeForce 6 series GPUs.

The 32-bit one is WHQL for only a few cards, & the 64-bit one is totally lacking WHQL! This need not necessarily mean a problem with it, I'm just mentioning it so everyone is aware that its yet to be certified - in a few more days it will be re-released as WHQL-certified!
