To start off with you should be able to set the card as a generic type to get basic functionality.

you can then download the nvidia drivers (and instructions) from the website and install them.

One other possiblity is to download a newer version of mandrake (or Mandriva as its called now) as it probably has builtin support for your newer hardware.
