Reposting in correct thread:
One thing I forgot to include in my previous post - be sure to 
read the documentation and look at NVidia's example XF86Config file (or whatever 
x.org calls it) - certain modules need to be disabled (dri, something else that 
I forget...). It's no big deal, since the nvidia module provides this 
functionality.

If oyu really want to take advantage of the performance 
those cards have to offer, you should use the nvidia  (that's the actual 
module name used by X) driver downloaded directly from NVidia. It makes a world 
of difference in performance, is easy to install, and is completely distribution 
neutral. It will work fine with XFree86 or X.org

I am having some issues (e.g. System lock ups) with my 
ATI 9250 
Video card.

I am thinging about replacing it with either a Nvidia 

FX5200, FX5500, or a FX5600 card.

Is anyone using one of these 
cards on Centos 4.1 with
the stock (XORG) nv 
driver?
