Which driver to download?

yea, i didnt know where to post this so i posted here, but, i have BF2(battlefield2) and i have the 'GeForce FX5500 PCI 256MB DDR' graphics card, and i don't know which driver to install so i can have good results, i want to run this game looking good, right know my graphics are on 1024x768@75Hz, Terrain-Low,Effects-Medium, Geometry-Medium,Texture-High,Lighting-Low, All the rest on Off or on Low, i would like to have this on the Driver i download, Effects-Medium, Geometry-Medium,Texture-High,Lighting-Medium or High, Dynamic Shadows-Medium or High, Dynamic Lighting-Off,Anti-Alias-Off,and Texture Filtering-Medium.... which Driver should i install? i did not know any other way to put it so i just put all the settings

and if the Driver i download would let me run on all High, that would be great to haha..

drivers will not really make a difference to your performance, they might make a slight few fps changes etc but at the end of the day your card can only go so far. I would just recommend the official nvidia drivers but I do not own an nvidia card so I cannot comment on modded drivers.

m|Ke is right about driver's performance. In most cases, drivers will only give you a couple FPS more, but will not be able to give you that extra umph you're looking for. As far your RAM, how much do you have in right now? And yes, adding extra ram will help out, but not necessarily make the video quality better, it will just make the game run smoother.
