newer isn't always better, unless you need some feature that the old card doesn't provide, I'd stick with the legacy hardware.

I've not used NVidia's much but I just bought a GeForce4 card. My
machine has locked up 3 times in the last 4 days. Prior to that I was
running an old Mach64 for a couple of years and never had a problem.

Heat? Nvidia? 7676? AGP 4X? Gremlins? You decide....

Cheers,
Mark

I noticed that Nvidia posted a new driver version, 7676, a week or so ago.

I downloaded the AMD64 version, hoping to get reliable XvMC operation,
but it didn't have any noticeable improvements on my system.


XvMC still fails to initialize.    I didn't bother messing with it any
more, but I assume it's still the same behavior as 7667, where you
have to try initializing it 20+ times, then finally you get lucky and
it works.  After that it works every time.
