The newest NVidia drivers have been released for XP and Win2000. You can get them here:

http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=winxp-2k_44.03

Unlike the ones in the past, these didn't make me unistall the old ones first. I reran my 3DMark 2001 and still get a score right at 10,000. I get 1366 with the 3DMark2003. Just a FYI for you tweakers.

There have been MANY reports of problems with the new drivers and mother boards useing the VIA BIOS chip set when running UT2003. You may want to check your BIOS before doing this upgrade :)

From what I've heard, the newer VIA chips are OK. It's the older versions that have a problem. Lucky for N6NU that you seem to have the newest rev. :D

Yes, I guess I lucked out. Thanks for the warning though.

What kind of performance improvement are other people seeing with these drivers?

Hey Mah

From what I've been reading on the UT2003 newgroup, the new driver addresses issues when running under XP. If your running a older OS ( like me 98 ) it won't do much to improve things. But I hear it's a good idea to do the update if your running XP.
