Just saw at Diamonds driver page for the Viper 330 that there are now
"beta" versions of OpenGL drivers for the Riva 128. My question is, what
exactly will these help with. Any good for F1RS? Anything about this
OpenGL stuff would be appreciated. I am clueless on the subject :)

No sorry it wont allow the Riva to run F1 RS in Glide mode nor will it
help the Riva run F1 RS in D3D mode...the only thing it will help with
is Games made to run with OpenGL....currently the most popular is the
Quake series with all the addons and conversions and licensed
products...ie Hexen2....

It won't help F1RS.
F1 uses Direct 3D.
Open GL is a Silicon Graphics graphics standard, and is used with
games like Hexen2 and Quake 2. I suppose it first gained major
exposure when GL Quake came out, before which, no one really cared..

I tried the beat OpenGL drivers on my Viper 330 and they are lousy. The
image quality in F1RS was terrible, and frame rate was noticeably slower.

Stick with the Diamond rev 23 turbo drivers for the best F1RS.
