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,

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
