Hi,

been wondering about graphic cards lately. I'm using some applications under
windows which would need or benefit from the use of an OpenGL enabled graphic
adapter. A few linux apps would surely benefit as well from such a card.

Atm I'm using an old Matrox Mill. G550 and for most music related apps it's a
great card, given me a good resolution on 2 monitors etc.
I also have an older ATI RADEON 7000/VE 64 MB Dual-Head card which puts so much
strain on my system under linux, it's next to unuseable. Also dual-display is
functioning less than ideal.

Now those nVidia 6200 cards are going quite cheap on eBay (around €20,00 give or
take) and they support OpenGL v. 2.0. Are these worth buying? Would they help to
relieve my CPU as well for graphics intensive tasks? Does the driver available
in the 64 Studio repos work well with it?
I have absolutely no experience compiling drivers/modules myself, so it should
be as painless as possible to install.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers
Raphael
