k_athlon vs nVidia

Hi list, Should I as a newbie update my k_athlon 2.4.20-38 to the security update offered by YOU 2.4.20-101 kernel before or after running sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-1.0-4496-pkg1.run to get my old nVidia Vanta 16MB to work OK and configured with Sax? If I do the kernel update before the nVidia update then the nVidia update don't work. If I do the nVidia update before the kernel update then I can't enable 3D. As I understand it there was a linking problem, and that kind of stuff is beyond my capacity for the moment, but I'm learning fast. Please be as detailed as you can. TIA. /Jari, Stockholm
