I am going to assume from the above that you have the Internet d/l'd set of Mandrake 9.0 cause on the store bought set the Nvidia drivers are there, they do not include them in the 3 CDs downloaded on the internet because they are proprietary drivers and MandrakeSoft does not include any proprietary software in the free download. It has been their policy since all of those types of software require a EULA. The Power Pack set does have the latest Nvidia drivers for sure. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
