I googled "geforce freebsd" and find that there is still
troubles with thw GeForce cards. The good news is that
with a build-to-order, there are a bunch of cards, and
it looks like for +$5 Tigerdirect had a FreeBSD supported
card. I'll check the x.org wiki pages to be sure.
Both sound and video are builtin to the Intel motherboard.
But if it is a 915 or whatever, no-joy. On *this*
system (an i815), both sound and video work flawlessly.
