	Nvidia support goes way way back. NVidia is to be commended for its driver
effort. Sure they have a hicup with a botched release every know and then, but
they always seem to get it fixed.

	The current driver supports back to the FX5200, the legacy driver supports the
MX4 Series (That's way back ~ late '90s, the prehistoric times in computer
terms) I still have a couple of AGP MX440's that came from God knows where, but
they still work just fine for 2D word processing...
