The 258.49 x64 were working alright for me but the past couple days my system has had some hanging issues at Windows 7 startup forcing me to reboot. I don't know if its these drivers causing the problem but I went back to 197.45 and the issue hasn't come back yet. (knock on wood)
Just an update on this the issue hasn't come back. So I think its safe to say it was that driver.
