Why more than one driver for each video card in 5472?

[Guest]

Have a geforce go 7400. I see 4-5 drivers listed under nvidia and not sure
whats the difference between them.

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

Install the nvidia driver for my card. It defaults to stand vga graphics card.

Here is the nVidia Vista page.
http://www.nvidia.com/page/technology_vista_home.html
and the download page.

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.

new forceware drivers were included with 5472, that are newer than those on
this link page.

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

Which ones are you looking for???

He's found it but needs to pick between x86 and x64.
