For those that are interested a new set of patches have been released to allow you to use the new nvidia drivers with development kernels (2.5.x and 2.6.0-text1/2). You can find them here

It seems like every time I finish installing these drivers another release immediately follows... well at least NVIDIA is serious about Linux support.

i can say that coming from my voodoo 5 the nvidia drivers are a godsend. No more hacking up DRI and manually placing all the necessary files Games run VERY smoothly and with great detail. From what I hear you can even use nvtool to overclock the card in linux.
