The Nvidia drivers are for all their recent cards, including the Vanta, I think. You may want to give a look at: http://www.geforcefaq.com/ which is for Geforce cards (originally, the Creative annihilator) but there's stuff there that applies across the line, particularly to doing a clean uninstall of the drivers (if you're up for a bit of Registry editing). I hope that you find the Vanta to be a significant improvement over the V3 2000, but I'm not optimistic. 32MB of RAM adds color depths/resolutions to 3D games, but I doubt that a Vanta is a powerful enough chip to exploit it. (The V3 got along nicely with 16 MB by not permitting 24 or 32 bit color in 3D games; I've not seen how well their "22 bit equivalent" mode works in life.) Have fun.
