chris, the releases are hit and miss with different hardware, while one version could work for you, the next might not. meanwhile, i may have the exact opposite results.
your best bet is to find a revision that works well on your machine, and stick with it for awhile. ive updated my revision several times, and a couple times, it definately made my machine less stable. BSODs were very common on a couple of revisions for me.
(7100 was stable on one of my machines, while being constantly BSODing on another.)
