The problem (in my opinion) is that you need to use a kernel module for the 
2Go, or for all their cards to get 3D acceleration. This means you loose all 
the advantages of the stability of the Linux kernel, i.e. your system becomes 
no more stable than the kernel module (you end up with something about as 
stable as Windows). This mostly causes problems with certain software: for 
example I can't use Konqueror without freezing the system; and some people 
apparently have no problems at all. Even without using Konq. my system 
freezes every few days (I've tried various versions of their drivers with the 
same result). 

Since Nvidia is not planning on supporting the 2Go with the XFree drivers in 
the near future, I am going to try to get Dell to replace my 2Go with an ATI 
card once I return to Canada where I purchased my system ...

Best,
James
