The numbers before the last dot signify the version of DirectX that the drivers are optimised for. In this case I think 4.13.01 means DirectX 8.1.

I have no idea about the 6xx though. Are you sure those are nVidia's drivers? Or maybe it's a bad build or something.

The 4 or 6 designates what OS the drivers are meant to be used with. 4 is for 9x/Me, and the 6 is for 2k/XP?.
