This is my experience:
        
        Acer TM 632 XC
        NVIDIA GeForce 2 GO 64MB
        
        The version 3123 of the driver works very well ( mplayer ... CPU < 1%)
        
        I have tried to install newer version. 
        But:
                Each newer version freeze the PC when a server goes
        into sleep mode (I guess it is sleep) after a hour of waiting and
        not doing.
        
        So I had to find the proper version 3123. 
        But I didn't find it  on the nvidia web!
        
        My lucky is that the drivers were stored in my old backup.

        Judge it yourself.        

               :-)
