Hello Kevin.
Just to worn you about NVIDIA graphic cards ... I had a lot of
reliability problems with 64 mb geforce 4. Replaced the card for the
same model and got the same problem ( the screnn was going like all
small pieces of white rice on the monitor after a couple of minutes.
And the 3d driver was not available anymore in RPM. A bit tough to
install for a newbie. And then it just did'nt work on my 8.1 pro with
the tar archive after the updates. (believe me I worked hard ... 1 month)
I changed the card for another one and the same problems came back.
(again). I guess they had a bad batch.
I returned to a simple ATI radeon 32 mb 7500 and everything is working
well since then, and the driver for 2d and 3d is automaticaly installed
by yast. Very simple.
I'm running an Athlon 950 mhz on an Abit KT7 motherboard with 512 mb
memory. It is very fast. I love it. I build it myself. Make sure you
have the best power supply you can buy. I run a Antec 380 true power. It
keeps the machine very stable.
Sorry for NVIDIA but i will not buy from them anymore.
Francois
