enlightened us by scribbling this gem of wisdom:

The WHQL versions of the drivers don't have the TNT1 cards in the .inf file.
You can easily add the missing bits to support these cards and then install
the driver. The 52.16 driver works great on the TNT cards that I have here,
both PCI and AGP versions. The non WHQL drivers all had TNT support as do
most of the beta and oem versions you see referenced here. Still it is easy
to fix for any of the drivers. nVidia has said that their unified
architecture means that new drivers work with old cards and vice versa. It
is just a matter of whether the appropriate entries are in the inf file. If
they are missing, just add them back in.

You can also use the quadro certified drivers which usually have TNT
support.

But doing that causes you to deal with all the broken games, usually
older ones. (many people have said that UT is corrupted in the
52.16).

When you're card doesn't support T&L, and you're playing older non T&L
games, why not use a known good driver, such as the 21 series drivers,
or the 30.82's, etc ?

of course it may be hard to find an older driver set these days.
I used to have -every- driver released from 5.13 to the 43's on my HD,
until my D: drive failed and I didn't bother to copy the drivers away
when I could (not like I had a use for them...)

it is "MonsterKill", In Quake3 it is "Excellent",
in Counter-Strike it is "Kicked by console"
