Nvidia liked it so much they started just making it a default
technology. in the 7xxx series (they had specific turbocache cards in

in the way of virtual or physical memory. The system does however
behave well enough
I have had major problems with the NVidia proprietary drivers, particularly
with Ubuntu 9.04. It seems like NVidia introduced a ton of REALLY bad bugs
when they had to almost rewrite the drivers for the changes in the new XOrg
