Greetings; I'm happy as a clam in mud with my new machine, but it's developed a problem. I purchased an inexpensive nVidia-based card that's starting to behave poorly. I think the hardware itself is buggy, the display will sometimes shudder rapidly side-to-side, blurring the screen view. Sometimes it stops and stays stopped, other times it goes on until I have to reboot. The problem doesn't appear to be a heating problem, but I've decided to go for a much better card anyway. So, I want an nVidia-based card with 256 MB video RAM and a decent cooling fan, preferably under $200. Any recommendations ? Best, dp
I have a nvidia geforce fx5500 hich cost me about £60 with 256mb video RAM which has certainly done the job for me. Sometimes it does get a bit warm in my box, but i think its because i need to invest in some decent in case cooling. (or maybe just move some dust off the fans so they spin!!) Just my £0.02 Chris
