My Geforce 2 DDR 32MB works bad when combined with a VIA K133 (or K133A) chipset
and possibly more chipsets. With the newer kernel 2.4, it will work better with
the agp port driver and not hang as much. However, there is the bad image
quality at resolutions above 1024x768 and any decent refresh rate. From what I
hear, many people have the same blurry images problem with this chipset and AMD,
so I would stay away from it.
