Do you have the latest drivers from Nvidia? The DirectX version means nothing with Second Life because it uses OpenGL instead of DirectX. You also mentioned problems starting with the last release of the Linden Lab viewer. One of the big changes is that it reset many people's default graphics settings due to a revision of the table that says what video card should use what setting. I've seen reports of graphics settings being set higher than is really appropriate for some cards. See what your graphics settings are now compared with how they used to be.

Also, by "lag" do you mean low frame rate or rubber-banding and slow movement?

I know of no general change in SL crashes over the last couple of week.

How is your packet loss doing?  From Help>About, you get a report that has packet loss on the last line.  If it is running over 1%, you will begin to notice significant lat.  If it gets over 10%, the game begins to be unplayable,
