I think it's safe to say that nVidia has more driver updates in a year than ATI has had in their entire existence - ugh.

Forceware is so Nvidia can create a totally unified update for video, chipset and other misc tools. This is where they will include on-the-fly overclocking tools for CPUs using Nforce chipsets and video cards using Nvida GPUs. Right now though it's just a name change until they roll all the tools together.

It should be cool if they can pull all this stuff under one roof. I just hope it doesn't get so cumbersome that the downloads are 150megs apiece. Time will tell...
