I take it those old drivers don't have the ability to create a custom res and timings like the newer geforce ones?
I think they probably can ...
Yes, they can, but only after they check the display to be sure the display can be properly-driven with the custom settings desired. In the past, and even like with PowerStrip, I had found the custom options unavailable when a given display cannot be customized for whatever reason.

There might be a compromise resolution in there somewhere but almost anything less than the native resolution of the (I assume) flat panel PC monitor tends to give odd scaling results as the display is distorted to fill it.
Yes, that seems to be what is happening.

I don't know how XP would cope with two separate display subsystems ...
After the custom settings have been created at the nVidia Control Panel, XP shows that custom resolution available for the respective display ... yet it is first dependent upon the nVidia drivers to show more than one display even available at all.

- maybe one could be used as a dedicated TV driver but I suspect that might cause more problems than it's worth.
I also doubt that will work any better, but I think I might at least try it before looking for a newer card.
