According to the page it contains x86 and x64 packages. I
only know the x86 ones work as I have run my PC in 32 bit mode
due to a dependency I have on a 32bit only kernel module.

They are only for quadro cards officially but I got it running
fine on my 6600GT by adding the appropriate driver alias.
