[Eug-lug] good (low-end) graphics card?

[Gabriel Merritt]

Mr O,

I'm running a Biostar N4sli-A9 motherboard.  When I try to load the Nvidia drivers I get an invalid memory allocation exception.  I dug through the Nvidia support forums and found another person that was having the same problem.  The Nvidia tech suggested it was a problem with the motherboard bios.  I'm not sure if that's true, but I do know I haven't been able to get the Nvidia driver to load properly, unlike my old 6800 GT which never had any problems.  The distro I'm currently running is Fedora Core  7.

What distro? If you're using Ubuntu I'd recommend Envy to
install the Nvidia driver. I've never had an issue on Slackware,
Gentoo, or Arch (my current desktop distro) running any decent
cards.

That be all,
Mr O.
