CPQ purchased from DELL. I would like to know if there any available updates for the video card (STB nVIDIA TNT).

do yourself a really big favour and download the TNT2 reference drivers from the Windrivers homepage. Yes I know you haven't got a TNT2 but the drivers are a great improvement on the detonater set.
One little tip though.
Download the detonater 1.09 driver set from http://www.nvidia.com and extract them. They extract to a temp folder on your desktop. Then download or extract the TNT2 reference drivers to a temp directory on your hard disk. Install the TNT2 drivers as normal via device manager. When it asks you to restart click no. Goto the Detonater folder and copy the NV4OGL.DLL file to your \windows\system folder. Then restart.
The reason for this is the NV4OGL.DLL drivers from the TNT2 reference set actually slows down OpenGL performance on the original TNT chipset. Which when used with the detonater 1.09 OpenGL file actually improves performance.
