What are you trying to do? How about some specifics?

Here is the nVidia Vista page.
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html
and the download page.
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technolo..._downloads.html
There is only one choice, not four, that is a video driver for whichever
edition of Vista you are using (x86 or x64). If you don't know what a
driver is for, click the link and read about it. I think you will find that
nForce drivers have nothing to do with video.

But nforce drivers are for
a.. Audio Driver (v4.65)
b.. SMBus Driver (v4.56)
c.. SataRAID Driver (v6.67)
d.. SMU Driver (v1.14)
e.. RAIDTOOL Application (v6.63)
so all you have to do is download the GeForce driver for x86 or x64,
whichever edition of Vista you are using. Your OP refered to your video
card.

Nvidea has 2 types of drivers
Motherboard chipset drivers called Nforce drivers
Video card drivers called Forceware drivers
