Hi Lee

Sorry just one last question that comes to mind.
I read your link above and after quite a bit of research I have decided to
go for the nvidia geforce gtx 460.

The thing is as it is a brand new card it needs newer nvidia drivers....the
nvidia current driver in lucid is 195.36.24, but the card apparently needs
256.44.

Whats the deal with downloading and installing newer nvidia drivers in
ubuntu (I've only ever just used the current ones from System /
Administration / Hardware drivers)  and the next question is how do i find
what the current driver will be in the maverick release?

Thanks again, especially for the link about the gtx 460 :)

Cheers

Josh
