Thanks Bryan!
I have a few identical machines, to keep installs, etc. easier. I plan to use one or two of the machines for CAD work, so I will want to get better video cards.
What video card(s) do you recommend for high performance?
Thanks, David

Hi Bryan, I have the FX5200-TD128 card.
FX5200/5500 = NV34. They are considered one of the poorest performing designs of its generation.
Despite having newer 3D features, those suckers are typically much slower than NV25/28 (GeForce4 Ti) series, even using those newer 3D features (which the GF4 Ti backfills in the driver). Of course, if you're running with the 2D-only MIT "nv" driver, that matters little. ;->
The "Device" SECTION still has (generic) for the GeForce FX BoardName.
Sometimes the NV30 driver will drive newer versions, but it's recommended you have a XFree/Xorg version with an "nv" driver that knows about the specifics of your GPU, namely NV34.
