I have a Geforce4MX 420 graphics card. I am not sure which linux driver should I install for this card. There are many drivers listed in nvidia's website but all of them are for AMD64 and IA. My processor is athlon XP. Can anyone help?

You should download the IA32 drivers, as you have a 32bit processor :)

Fediora Core3

Aren't the above mentioned drivers for Intel platform only. My OS is Fedora Core 3 and processor is AMD Athlon XP 2100+ which I have already mentioned. Will drivers for Intel work?

Actually they are for the x86 platform, which includes intel pentium 1-4 as well as amd k6, duron, athlons etc.

You will get quite a reference about Ia32, or i586, i386 or i686 even ix86 they all refere to Intel architechture (Ia)32 processors (or Intel 32bit archtechture) which as Ujjwal has written includes all the celerons, pentiums, athlons, durons and cyrix etc.
