Yes, and I have it, but it fails to apply.  The patch instructs are a bit 
obtuse to me.  I've watched the errors because they can't code worth a damn 
go by even when it says the build is good, been doing it for a couple of 
years.  Strange things have happened in that 2 years too, such as getting 
LSN0 wiped clean at least once.  Screw it, I need something more stable than 
NVIDIA's own drivers have proven to be.

Chuckle.  Either that, or if you are good at it, you get accused of walking on 
water, which I have been occasionally.  Even though I've been given the rolex 
and retired into a transmitter maintenance role for 4 years now, the phone 
still rings when the SHTF.
