Vista driver and 8600GT

Hello - I'm really having some adventures with this card in Vista. I Installed 295,73 but I found just navigating around the desktop, moving and resizing different windows, etc,etc to be sluggish. I uninstalled and just for a laugh I allowed Windowsupdate to install the display driver. To my surprise it was version 275.33. Physx was not installed, but Nvidia update was. (Do I need Physx?) The Nvidia driver downloads tool recommends 296.10. It's an old box (Nforce 410 chipset) so no heavy duty games going on. In XP (same box dual boot) I have one of the 285.xx drivers running - seems OK. In general, should this older display adapter be using the latest drivers?
