I have an AMD Athlon XP2800+
and there are two installers for the legacy chipsets, one called
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.01-pkg1.run

which looks like a x86 version and

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-71.86.01-pkg2.run

which looks like the AMD64 version.

Do you suppose that the installer will tell me if it can't find the correct source against which to compile the module?


You are correct the x86_64 package is for the AMD64, I had an XP2400+ by the way and it works fine.

Sorry, but I'm still fuzzy: do I use the AMD64 version for the XP2800+ ?

Thanks!


Sorry, no you only have a 32 bit processor.

OK, did this and everything seems to work so far. It was very easy and seemed to be very safe. The NVIDIA script was very straightforward. I am amazed that NVIDIA has all of these support things for linux.
Thanks again Dave and Carlos!
