I'm using 7.17 here.
Someone told it needs DX8 but looks like it works just fine with Dx7a  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Some sources say 7.17 isn't too good driver for OpenGL games but AH runs just fine.

Geforce owners should see a significant increase in performance if using the 6.xx drivers rather than the new 7.xx drivers even in Directx 8.  This has been stated on numerous Geforce websites. I tried 7.17 and went from 60fps to 49fps.

Just watchout for fake drivers.
I heard that 7.23 is a fake, so keep that one out of your machine.

Jihad, can you quantify better fps? Was it a significant or marginal increase?
