Okay, jf, thanks. I checked it out. Good info. I guess my original message was a bit misleading. I just stressed the graphics part since I see advice given all the time to stay away from Nvidia, so I just wanted to clear that up early on, to show what graphics hardware was being used. My main concern was if there were any other problems like with suspend, sound, whatever. I should've been more clear. My bad. Way, way too late in the wee a.m. hours when I wrote the message.
