Will using the nvidia proprietary X driver be noticeably faster than
the 'standard' nv driver? I don't play any games on my computer but I
do some graphical stuff, my main uses are:-
Web browsing using firefox
Lots of command line terminal windows
digikam photo album
VMWare running Windows XP as a guest system
I think the most likely area to be affected by better graphics drivers
is the VMWare (Workstation 6.0.2 if that's relevant). Can anyone tell
me if I'll gain anything by moving to the nvidia drivers?

The open drivers are an obfuscated POS.
