Sneaky, nothing in the release notes or published about this going in that I've been able to find
but I'm getting the same platform version of 3.2

Just downloaded the new beta driver and installed it on my XP x64 dual 465 rig.....
Will see if it seems to do better than the 258.96.
The installer is pretty........but who gives a rip as long as it works.
Note to some......
I had noted earlier that the 258.96 XP 32 bit version would install correctly on my Win2K Advanced Server rig....
No longer......get a popup saying a newer version of Windows is required.
So hang onto your archived version of 258.96 if you have some older OSs in your farm.
It appears that nvidia has now officially abandoned support of them.

Ahh, maybe they did announce the launch. Just re-read the Nvidia newsletter:
--- Quote ---New Releases of Parallel Nsight and CUDA Toolkit
NVIDIA today announced new versions of the industry-leading developer tools Parallel Nsight and CUDA Toolkit.
– Parallel Nsight v1.5 includes support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, Tesla Compute
Cluster (TCC) debugging and CUDA Toolkit 3.2
– CUDA Toolkit v3.2 includes new math libraries, performance improvements and support
for the new 6GB Tesla and Quadro products
– For an overview of new features, see: http://is.gd/f9hKn

WoW! Great news indeed! In presentation they speak about FFT library performance improvement. If it's overall improvement (for all FFT types) it should directly increase CUDA MB
performance. (30% improvement in cuFFT if I heard it right)
ADDON: interesting info about Tesla's. If they would provide drivers to use secondary NV GPU in "tesla" mode (that is, separate driver, not graphics one) it would give great overhead reduce for GPUs too...
