That's the exact same model I've got in my wife's system.

Both the nVidia cards were quite playable in UT2004.  I'll see if I
can'get get the 3.7.0 drivers installed.  Hopefully, that will make a
difference.  It seems odd that the current drivers would work with
absolutely everything but UT2004.  Where did you get the 3.7.0 drivers
from?  Only asking because ATI's site appears to only provide RPM
downloads.
