[CentOS] Switch to Nvidia from ATI

[Bisbal, Prentice]

Reposting in correct thread:

One thing I forgot to include in my previous post - be sure to read the
documentation and look at NVidia's example XF86Config file (or whatever
x.org calls it) - certain modules need to be disabled (dri, something
else that I forget...). It's no big deal, since the nvidia module
provides this functionality.

If oyu really want to take advantage of the performance those cards have
to offer, you should use the nvidia  (that's the actual module name used
by X) driver downloaded directly from NVidia. It makes a world of
difference in performance, is easy to install, and is completely
distribution neutral. It will work fine with XFree86 or X.org

I am having some issues (e.g. System lock ups) with my 
ATI 9250 Video card.

I am thinging about replacing it with either a Nvidia 

FX5200, FX5500, or a FX5600 card.

Is anyone using one of these cards on Centos 4.1 with
the stock (XORG) nv driver?
