Graphics cards

[macariov at gmail.com]

I have the NVIDIA GeForce 6200LE GPU
On one of my desktops.  I have run the last three iterations of (xk)ubuntu as well as kanotix, opensuse, mandriva 2007-1 and windows xp.  I have yet to see it fail.  The only problem is that the native nvidia linux driver did not work for me, so I had to go with the free one, no a big deal for me, whatever works.

Subject: Graphics cards


I'm intending to rebuild the PC in the fairly near future. I don't need a 
powerful graphics card, I want it fanless, and I want it to be PCI Express 
x16.

Sorry to have to ask here, but has anybody used either of these yet?

Asus EN6200LE 64MB Turbocache supporting 256MB DDR DVI PCI-E Graphics Card

There is an ebuyer customer feedback on the Nvidia card, stating that it works 
with Suse 10.2.

The report here http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=828&num=4 
suggests that the ATI chip is supported by a Linux driver.

I have to say that since the announcements about AMD supporting the Open 
Source community with drivers for ATI chips, I would prefer to buy an ATI 
based card again.

Can anybody comment please?

Thanks,

Dave Fletcher
