ENHANCEMENTS: 
- Adds support for the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 Video Card.

- Makes full-scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), Desktop Edge Blending, and Desktop 
Overlay settings available for NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 Video Cards.

- Adds a profile for Unisys CAD applications.

- Improves performance and memory management for I-DEAS.

- Improves OpenGL performance in Extended Desktop (Dualview) Display mode.

- Increases the maximum size of an accelerated OpenGL window from 4096 x 4096 
pixels to 32768 x 32768 pixels.

- Enables frame synchronization status to be queried through the NVIDIA Control 
Panel application programming interface (API).

FIXES: 
- Fixes an intermittent non-maskable interrupt (NMI) memory parity error that 
may occur during Windows startup on the HP Workstation xw4300 if the /3gb boot 
option is used.

- Fixes an intermittent "blue-screen" system crash (stop error 0xEA) that may 
occur while playing streaming video in Microsoft Windows Media Player 9.0.

- Fixes an intermittent "blue-screen" system crash (stop error 0xA) that may 
occur when resuming from Standby mode on workstations with two NVIDIA Quadro 
NVS 285 Video Cards installed.

- Fixes missing images or a spontaneous system reboot that may occur when using 
many very large textures.

- Fixes an application crash in Unigraphics NX4 when real-time rendering and 
shadows are used together.

- Fixes an issue, which may occur while running multiple OpenGL applications 
simultaneously on Scalable Link Interconnect (SLI) configurations, where the 
workstation stops responding (hangs) or generates an intermittent stop error.

- Fixes severe flashing that may occur on SLI configurations that are executing 
a non-stereo OpenGL application immediately after using a stereo OpenGL 
application.

- Fixes slow OpenGL performance that may occur after starting an OpenGL stereo 
application 5 to 10 times.

- Fixes very slow performance that may occur when using two NVIDIA Quadro FX 
5500 Video Cards and four displays on HP xw8400 Workstations.
