I'll have to check on the other ones later, but this one that went off
without a hitch, is a:  Quadro NVS 110M / GeForce Go 7300 rev 161

That was on a new laptop, too.  Which can be pushing one's luck.

Try turning that around.  YOUR experiences with YOUR cards are just YOUR
experiences.  Just because YOU'VE had some trouble with YOUR cards
doesn't mean that FC 7 or 8 are going to be "useless" with NVidia cards
for other people.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, stop
exaggerating.   :-\
