Which drivers and where?

I am a

to the very definition to the word. I am trying to identify which drivers I need for my Geforce4 MX 420 64MB(MSI) video card. It supports dual monitor and s-video out. I went to their website( www.nvidia.com ) but I got lost as to which one to pick. Do I get the AMD64 driver? or otherwise?
I also have a Creative labs Audigy X-Gamer sound card, do they have linux drivers for it?
I plan on using these on a MSI KT4 Ultra mainboard with RH8, MD9, and Yoper distros of linux. ANY help will be appreciated!

You need the Intel IA32 Linux drivers, and the latest version come as one file suitable for all distributions, you need to read the Docs and follow on screen prompts but its reall y not too hard.

You just do "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4349.run", and follow the prompts.

The readme (@ nvidia):
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...349/README.txt

The current driver (@ nvidia):
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/L...6-1.0-4349.run

then you need to follow the prompt and docs to change the XF86Confg file to match what they tell you.
