Go to the nvidia site and download the latest driver which is version 81.98 *www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_81.98.html and it is WHQL certified. I am having leadtek 6600gt 128mb and using this driver without any problem.

The latest stable driver for the Nvidia 6600GT GPU is 84.21, which you can find at *www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/results/forceware/0/

-----And now for the difference between Nvidia and XFX, Nvidia is the GPU manufacturer whereas XFX is the chipset manufacturer of that GPU.
