I checked for the latest drivers for my 8800GTS 512 for the first time in 4 months and nVidias site shows the same 169.21 since December 19th.
WHen I had my ATI card I remember they did monthly releases of new Catalyst drivers but nVidia doesn't? Thats kinda nice if I don't need to update.
 
Either select the beta drivers or checkout www.Guru3D.com for less well known releases and modded drivers.
Some drivers are only allowed to install on certain cards and refuse to install otherwise.
Guru3D posts modded drivers at times that add support for more cards.
 
what the heck?
Guru-3D has ForceWare 174.74 XP (32-bit) WHQL released on April 3rd but nVIdia's site doesn't?
Should I use these?
 
Thats because they were released for the 9xxx series cards as explained above :)

If the driver is reported to install on your card then give it a try.
I'm using the same driver but cant remember where I got the modded inf for it.
Hopefully the one you have found includes it.
 
i've run to the same site, but i've found that it's for 64bit

obviously there's a typo but not sure which one is the typo.
 
Nvidia have official releases less often, but they frequently allow access to beta drivers which are often just as good, they can be found under Nvidias beta section, you can also pick up unofficial betas from places like www.guru3d.com

If you want more info guru3d forums have an nvidia driver section, you can find loads of info there.
