as i type i am downloading the demo for farcry. it says that the minimum graphics card is geforce 4 mx . i have a geforce 4 mx 440. it also says that nvidia cards must have atleast forceware 53.03 drivers (i think, im gonna double check that). if i have read correctly, these drivers are made for the fx series and will actually hurt the mx's performance, will i need these drivers to play, and is it advisable to install them?

Will installing the 5x.xx drivers hurt your performance in games? Yes. But unless it's my PC, you can always revert back to your old drivers if need be. My comp won't let me install the last 4x.xx drivers nVidia made for my GF4 Ti, but I haven't had much time to experiment and see what the problem is.

I'd say go ahead and install the 53.03s.
