I have an older 5500 nVidia card on one machine that blows and
goes ...with 3D graphics, using the nVidia driver, thank you. We're
becoming A 3D world online so I don't see how Nouveau is worth a damn
until it does acceleration and 3D. You might as well jam an old Voodoo
card in and run SVGA mode.

I second the motion. I'm on my second PC with an nvidia 6200 and I can run 
all the fancy graphics and so on with no problem, and no noise. -:)
