The MX series of video chips from Nvidia are pretty much their own unique 
line of chips, as far as their supported features go.  Although you'll often 
see the latest models referred to as Geforce 4 MXs, these are really much 
closer to being Geforce 2 chips, as far as their internal construction goes. 
Calling these chips Geforce 4s has always been a bit misleading; so, I think 
some card manufacturers are doing everyone a favor by dropping this from 
their description.

So, to answer your question, a Geforce MX4000 and a Geforce4 MX4000 are the 
same thing.

As to what driver to use, looking at the release notes for the latest series 
of drivers, version 93.71 drivers continue to show support for these video 
cards under Windows XP (but not Windows XP x64).  If you are running Windows 
98, nvidia will direct you to their 81.98 drivers.  The release notes for 
the 81.98 version drivers don't mention Windows 98 as being supported, but 
this support may not be fully documented.  I'd try these 81.98 drivers if 
running Win98; if they install properly (i.e., recognize your video card), 
they should work fine.

Subject: GeForce was Re: Nvidia Problem

I have a video card, bought new 6/16/2004 but, NEVER used.
(I solved the problem it was bought for before it arrived.)

Info from the sticker on the box:
Chaintech slmx4000, GeForce mx400, agp8x, 64mb ddr, 32bit

A couple questions:
Is a                GeForce    mx4000 (mine)
the same as a GeForce4  mx4000 (notice the extra 4)...

It seems to show up on some sites one way OR the other,
but never both...

What would be a good driver for this card?
