I'm on my third nVidia card (over several years) and I wouldn't think of 
using anything else. Not just a great graphics card, it has always 
worked well with Linux. This latest card is a GeForce 7600 GT 256MB 
AGP4/8. My main board does not have a PCI-X (?) slot so I'm still using 
AGP. The card was $104.00 after rebate at Newegg.
