It would be the
173.14.12 package.  You can always go to the nivida drivers 
site and do a search for your hard ware.

But how do I tell if 96xx or 173xx is for my old Geforce FX Go5200 ?

The akmod-nvidia packages at rpmfusion includes logic to rebuild the
drivers automatically when a new kernel is booted.  Quite sweet, really,
and none of the hassles associated with nVidia's packaging.

Look for the akmod-nvidia-96xx or akmod-nvida-173xx packages at
rpmfusion.  Note that these are no longer supported by nVidia, but they
are kept current for new kernels by the rpmfusion gang.

How do you find drivers on Nvidia.com for older cards, like a GeForce FX 
Go5200 NV34M

I don't particularly like using packaged NVidia stuff - too much of a 
pain waiting for the packagers to catch up with the latest kernel.

I just grab the right driver from 
http://www.nvidia.com/page/support.html.  Once it's downloaded, just run 
this as root:

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run -s -X

Change NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-177.82-pkg2.run to the package you download.

That will do a quiet install and set up your xorg.conf appropriately.

If you want to use packaged versions, you can use the rpmforge repo at 
http://rpmfusion.org.  There are good docs there as to how to use the repo.
