Joe. I'm aware of the new version and I think the 9476 will be ok for me. Besides I'm tired of reinstallng the drivers using the nvidia-installer every time I update my kernel or mesa libs (eg. when I update mesa development packages, which are required by other dev packages, I must reinstall the nvidia drivers)...
