[LAU] Video card joy

Because who else would even care besides you lot?

After going for years with anemic video cards because the "good" ones 
would sound like a jet taking off, I splurged and got an Asus GeForce
GE640 silent.  No fans, just fins and heat pipes, and a GPU that isn't
close to EOL already.

Now, great performance on my two monitors and sweet, sweet silence.

And having replaced video cards in Windows machines and having the OS
freak the frak out about a system change, a renewed appreciation for
Linux.  I'd pre-installed the nouveau packages from Arch, and once the
new card was in place, two simple config file changes and a mkinitcpio
later I was rocking it.
