That's bloody expensive.  64MB GeForce2/MX200's with TVout are $99.

Yeah, it's an Nvidia GeForce 256 card.  Brands don't mean anything - the
chipset defines what drivers you need, not the retailer.

They work with standard VESA drivers, the nv driver with XFree 4, and the
closed-source drivers for XFree 4 provided by NVidia from their website
(which are less shite than they used to be).  If you want hardware 3D you'll
need the closed-source beasties.
