What are some good nVidia drivers for Windows 98, running certain older games like DX, Thief, Heavy Gear 2, and so on?

You see, I dual boot with XP and 98. XP has to use the latest nVidia drivers (because I play all the latest games on that, and the latest games are built for the latest drivers... )

But since 98 is on specifically for older (better) games, what are some recommended nVidia drivers, specifically they run smooth, all games work on it (besides the latest games, ie. games from 2002 and younger) and are very stable?

I noticed with 53.03 and the latest drivers (56.something) tend to make DX crash quite a bit, whereas I never had DX crash before EVER using the same OS, vid card, sound drivers and everything (so obviously the drivers are the prob. they're not made for DX).

Finding the right drivers can be tedious to say the best, but note what DirectX version you use in you Win98 and try to find a driver around that timeperiode (a little later).
Because if you run with a relative new Direct X, your graphics drivers can crash your computer fast if they aren't compatible, which would be very plausible if using to old drivers.

But I can't give any numbers of drivers cause I simply can't remember what I ran with.
