I recently went ahead and setup Bootcamp with Windoze XP. The question I have is, can I download and install the latest nVidia drivers, or should I stick with the drivers that came with the Mac. Under normal circumstances I know that the answer to this question is to download the latest drivers. I'm not completely confident with the Mac Pro GeForce 8800 GT though, since this card is Mac specific.

Thanks in advance for the responses.

From what I understand, the NVIDIA-supplied package works just fine. I have read a number of posters indicating that they're using the NVIDIA package.

AFAIK, the card is no different than what you would find in a PC since Macs are using fairly standard Intel chipsets these days.
