drivers - nvidia vs. nvidia-updates?

OK, so I haven't find any answer, only one that claims the "nvidia-updates" is newer versions, yet the driver instalator says this:


4 options:


nvidia 331.113,
nvidia-updates 331.113,
legacy nvidia 304.125,
legacy nvidia-updates 304.125


Which one to install? What's the difference between nvidia and nvidia-updates? Since both report as the same version.


Which should I choose? Legacy or non-legacy? Both 331.113 and legacy 304.125 were released at the same day, bot are supported by my card.. Which is GT520M


https://www.nvidia.co.uk/download/driverResults.aspx/80563/en-uk AND
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/80133/en-us


They have some common changelogs.. so I'm confused. And new non-legacy drivers are still being developed for this GPU.


And last question. Why the driver is so outdated? It's from 2014.
