graphics

I have had great experience with nVidia GeForce 4 Ti's (using nVidia's
nvidia module/driver).  They've been really stable, they perform very
well, and you can get dual-head-capable cards for real cheap.  (You'll
need to buy a DVI-to-VGA adapter to run two in many cases, unless that
Dell 2000FP of yours has a DVI cable...).  The Leadtek Winfast that I
have even overclocks very nicely with nvclock
(http://www.evil3d.net/products/nvclock/).

I know a lot of people have expressed severe doubts about using
closed-source "tainted" modules, but hey, I use the nVidia drivers and
they _just work_, which is all that matters, in my book.

Anyways, that's my $2/100.
