Are the new 8.4 drivers any good? Right now I am using 8.2. I am also using Vista Home premium 32 bit. My vid card is in my sig.

I think the 8.3's are best for your card, though I think the 8.4's are about the same. You can check for yourself here, if you'd like:

I have 8.4 for Vista 32bit. They seem the same but one problem has arised. I used to get a driver not responding and had to be stopped and restarted error with older 7.X drivers. It went away with 8.1-8.3 but is back. Once the driver kept doing it really fast and caused Vista to BSoD.

Hopefully 8.5 is more stable.
