I have an opportunity to purchase soon to be discontinued
notebooks at significant savings.  My #1 concern is the
video cards.  Does anyone have experience with either of
the following.  I suspect that given enough time most cards
can be made to work.  However I am not looking for a
project - no make a new kernel, etc.  I would prefer to stick
with a readily available driver in 8.10 or 9.04.  It does not
need to support compiz.

1. NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M graphics with 512 MB dedicated
video memory.  Screen resolution would be 1920 x 1200.

or

2. NVIDIA Quadro NVS 320M graphics with 256 MB dedicated
video memory.  Screen resolution would be 1680 x 1050.
