whoa, why get an nvidia card then?  the close source drivers work 
wonderfully...at least for opengl stuff...=)  i mean, quake3 is unplayable 
with the vesa drivers with a geforce4...=/  also, with the newest versions of 
em, its pretty easy to set my tv as a seperate x screen.  so watching my 
divx's is a simple matter of invoking mplayer with -display :0.1.  my friends 
can watch em, while i work on my computer...its great...=)  well, the color 
is slightly off...
