Which driver do I download for my video card?
 
Im on slack and running on the 2.4.22 kernel.
My graphics card is a Geforce3 Ti 500 and my friend said that the nvidia driver i should get for it should be under the IA32 archive. I see the archive but I have no clue which driver to get for my card. Please reply back to me. Thanks in advance!

well if you wanna get the newest get the newest (version 5336), if you wanna get an older archived version, then do that :p
its up to you, all the info you really need is what you already have, and that you need the IA32 version, unless your running a 64bit processor ...

And don't forget to check out the readme so you know how to run it from the script to install it.

Oh, I thought kernel version and stuff mattered?
but I guess I'll go ahead and update to the latest 5336

Thanks, again.:D

here is a good little guide just in case your unsure about how to go about it ;-)

oh yes, the version does matter. If you are running the 2.6 kernel, you need the 5336 kernel at least (unless you want to get into hacked version and self patching).

Otherwise, 5336 is the way to go. It seems to work reasonably enough
