FWIW, my experience is 180 degrees from yours.  I've had multiple NVIDIA 
cards and except for the one problem (at least 2 years ago) never a burp.  I 
even have them on windows machines...including an NVIDIA chip in my Acer 
running Vista.

Now, if I install the HP printer drivers for my networked printer it kills 
my wifi and HP hasn't been able to fix it and I've had to reinstall Vista 
several times due to that....
