I am planning to upgrade my nvidia drivers. SO far I have been using the default ones provided with win XP, so I think I don't I have detonator drivers installed.
My sys configuration is:
P-III 450Mhz
320 MB Ram
RIva TNT I graphics card (AGP - 16MB video ram)
Should I upgrade to this version of detonator to get best perfomance.
Also I am runnign DIRECTX 8.00. Can I use this same version with detonator drivers 4.03 without upgrading to DIRECTX 9
 
Thanks in advance

What good would newer drivers do. What games will you play with it? I doubt that there will be anything different for such an old GPU. I have a GF2MX and I use 41.09 because of the new look.
 
I still use dx8.1 cos some games won't run on 9.

the latest nvidia drivers will not change a SINGLE thing for you card since it is so old, so if things work now, no reason to upgrade.

I've used to own a Riva TNT card, and i've tried numerous drivers and i discovered (verified on 3 of my friend's TNT2 and M64) that 28.32 is the best driver for the TNT cards. Newer release will give it problems, 2D animation shutter.
 
But for Geforce 1/2/MX new drivers won't do any harm though, and will give u slightly better performance.
 
P.S. It is recommended to upgrade to latest directx edition (9.0a)
