I'm guessing the 5.XX drivers are the betas for testing the NV15--that's why GeForce2-GTS is always listed in the readme.txt

I can't get any of the 5.XX drivers to work on my system, but I did "blend" the 3.84 drivers with aspects of the 5.08s and the new 5.14s. What did I get? OpenGL FSAA with use of the 5.14s control panel and the stability of the 3.84s. No D3D FSAA though...

Will the texture compression work on a TNT1, and if so, will it make it quicker? :)

5.14 for W2K is very unstable on my TNT2U (Guillemot Xentor32) so watch out. I have been getting BSODs on some video mode changes (usually after quitting UT or HL). This was the same way in 5.13.

Even worse, they cut my Q2 and SOF performance in half. And while they have support for a PALETTEENABLE registry entry to enable palatized textures, the color palets are not handled correctly so if they are actually used, the colors look like a bad 256 color game on crack.
