Other than having to specify the use of AGPGART in the XFree config file (using
the NvAGP var - RTFM), upgrading to these went fairly smoothly, and I'm now
getting an extra 10FPS from Quake3 (800x600, max other settings except 16bit
textures, on a 32MB GF2MX, I get around 65fps on demo001). It's also fixed a
few other problems, too.

Apparently, they also support some of the new GF3 features (before any Windows
drivers)...
