Can anyone tell me what the advantage would be of using the new Nvidia
drivers over the ones that are installed with mandrake (running 8.0 here)?
And is there an easy way to go back to the original if the new ones don't
work for me?

I sometimes experience strange effects in X where the display looks like
repetitions of 15 or so horizontal lines, making reading it impossible, and
all I can do is a reboot. Perhaps the new drivers would fix this problem.

I have the Nvidia Gforce 32mb. I suspect that this problem comes up only
after playing lots of MPEGs etc with mplayer but I am not sure.
