Actually the only verison that was crashing a lot was the one before that, but it seems like NVidia don't even have it on their ftp anymore. (23xx as far as I remember). So don't be afraid to use it, it works quite smoothly and supports both xv and x11 and everything.

I'd say it depends quite a lot on your motherboard and whether you use 
AGPGART or nvidia's port of the NT agp code which comes with the card. 
Anyway, I'm back to my ATI card. It's slower in 3D, but works better on 
everything else. Also, ATI cards have the best image filtering I've ever 
seen. (when I was installing the DRI I could tell if it was software 
rendering or not just looking at a "magnified" texture ;-D )
