Don't bother with the download over dialup, which can be notoriously unreliable,

to kill a download.

"NVIDIA Unified Graphic software" is nVidia's approach to packaging its driver
software, in essence, one size fits all chips.

If you have a flash memory stick, go to a local public library to download the
nVidia update... Ben Myers

I do have some flash memory sticks, but to what website
would I go to seek the update, and how would I
designate/describe it?

Many thanks.
