if the NVidia driver does not recognize your card, just choose one manually!
I have a Geforce PCX 5300 card working under Win98, without any problem.
The driver installer (81.98) didn't want to install it, so I went to device manager, said "New driver" for the card, told Windows that I wanted to choose a driver from a list, directed Windows to the place the NVidia files were extracted, and chose a card similar to mine (Geforce FX 5200). And this worked! AFAICS it should not even make a difference which card you choose, since all cards use the same driver files with the same settings (browse the inf-file to double-check...).
