	For your card you can use the current drivers.. You can have a
look at this :

	http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_18897.html

It contains all the models supported by the latest nvidia drivers.

You can use nvidia driver in your xorg.conf.
	Driver "nvidia"

This card too will work with the latest nvidia-drivers.


One more thing James, there is no need to do an emerge nvidia-kernel and
emerge nvidia-glx anymore.. There is a new unified ebuild
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. Just do a emerge x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.
I suggest you do 

	$ echo "x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers ~x86" > /etc/portage/package.keywords

as the newest drivers have not yet made into the stable branch..

Hope this helps,
