Just to offer a divergent voice:

I just built the system in January so I've only used 266.58. What I've found is that my 8800GT is freezing after some random period (anywhere 10m - 2hr) in WoW and also in the Rift beta, requiring a hard reset whenever it happens. I used the card in a previous system under XP and never had a problem, nor have I gotten it to act up outside of a game, so I don't think it's hardware.

Again I haven't used any driver other than 266.58 so I can't specifically say it's at fault, but I wanted to mention it in case someone else experiences issues.
