I have just finished building my new Linux system (hardware) and when I
tried to configure X for the new video card
I found out that Xconfig did not recognize it. I went to the NVIDIA
site to download a X driver for it but when I got there
I found several drivers to choose from and I am not sure which driver I
need. I am not sure what the IA32, IA64 and
AMD64 mean.

Can someone please tell me which one of the drivers I should use?

The particulars are listed below.

The video card is a Chaintech FX/MX series which uses a NVIDIA GeForce
FX/MX Series GPU.

The choices I see at the NVIDIA download site are these:
