Two questions coming to my mind - first, to clarify, am I right in assuming that if I don't want any 3D, I don't have to go toss my Radeon away to run nothing more complex than a browser and a terminal in X on AMD64? As for Nvidia, there's a lot of talk about Geforce series cards, but I've too often found them to be unstable and quite hot (just imo, no flamebait intended). So from Nvidia, I prefer the Quadro series. How's their functionality, are there any experiences? -Kyuu 'Vekotin' Eturautti
