Oh boy, HTs going to have a ball with these drivers.  They've changed the vertex handling, which means it's either going to fix the DX8 beta issues, or break them even more.  ;)

Rumors are going around that they are going to be released today.  (Nvidia's site is currently down, supposedly to conserve bandwidth until they are uploaded.)

Thought I might add that I think it'd be best to not install them immediately.  Since everyone is going to be getting them at once nobody knows how stable they are going to be.  (I'll probably test them later tonight after work if they do indeed come out today.)

Also, remember to do this the right way.  Win9x users switch to standard VGA before installing.  Win2k users use the change or update driver button.

And Win9x users also need to uninstall the drivers using the add/remove function in the control panel.
