The nvidia drivers will support everything up through the GeForce 4. 
I've done the kernel rebuild with a GeForce2 already, am picking up a
GeForce 4 card today or tomorrow, so will be doing it again tonight. 
Should be interesting.

I would imagine the basic nv driver should work for the GeForce4, but as
is the case with all of the nvidia cards, won't support openGL, advance
features, etc.
