These have the same larger shared system memory size like regular Geforce drivers.

305.53 and 305.67 had 1024mb, 306.63 has 2816mb.

So these are newer than the v306.23 WHQL drivers then but betas? I will install these later and check them out.

Are there any release notes that detail the changes/additions/improvements since the last certified set?
