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've been happy so far with a Gigabyte GV-NX66256DP2, based on the
GeForce 6600. It's PCI-Express. Not a high-end card at all, it cost
$95 in April 2006, but so far works flawlessly, and it's fanless.
