    The most stable drivers are located on the Leopard DVD. You could of course install other graphics drivers to change the clocks on your GPU, but the official ones released by Apple are all on the Leopard DVD.

    Better drivers may be found on the manufacturers websites for individual parts. When running boot camp, the Macs are just like any other Windows PC.

    The only problem I had with a Santa Rosa MacBook (Nov 2007) was with the keyboard. The Fn-arrow and Delete combinations didn't work with the stock drivers, and Apple has not acknowledged the issue or made newer driver publicly available AFAIK. Some people had luck asking Apple Support for updated installer/driver DVDs. I asked around in the forums and several people sent me an updated keyboard driver (from the Penryn Macbooks) that solved my problems.

    the latest laptopvideotogo drivers for the 8600gt do nothing but boot me out of C&C3.
