NVIDIA Drivers on RedHat 8

kierl · 03-24-2003, 06:55 PM

I'm still kinda new to actually having to think about drivers and hardware. Anyhow, I was looking at NVIDIA's site for updated drivers for my OnBoard TNT2 Aladdin but thier site has 3 different linux driver sections. IA32, IA64, and AMD64. What do these mean? And which one do I need? Help Please.

From: http://www.techexplained.com/other/g...y.php?letter=i

IA32 The 32bit CPU archetecture developed by Intel, and used for most of their processors, including the current Pentium 4s.

IA64 Intel's new 64bit CPU archetecture, to be first introduced with the Itanium processor.

AMD64 = the not yet available AMD Hammer cpu's.

So Basically, I'll Want the IA32 Drivers for my Celeron? How About my Athlon T-Bird at home(G-Force2)? That would be the IA32 too right?

Yes, all ix86 CPU's are IA32.

Download nvidia's NVchooser script. It will tell you what packages to download.
