That and uncheck the box that says IDE Drivers for Nforce 4.

Don't fix anything that it's not broken ...yet.

If I understand correctly, I just download these:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp32_x16_6.82
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxpmce_81.98.html

And hit install. Done.

No uninstalling, etc. And where do I install them? It's quite confusing. I looked at uninstalling, but my versions appear to be different. For example, the new NF4 is 6.70, but my old one says "ForceWare version: 77.30". And my graphics card has a totaly different number layout than the update, "7.7.3.0". Ideas?

No, unless you have the A8N32-SLI Deluxe you don't get the x16 drivers.
You get these instead:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_winxp32_amd_6.70.html

First am I right on that ^? Second, if I had the A8N32-SLI Deluxe, I would get those ^ drivers, right?

But the Graphics driver is ok.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused still.
