The most important point to remember is that graphics cards are replaced by newer models about as fast as new XFree86 releases come out. This means that it for a hassle free life, it is probably not a good idea to buy the latest card. IIRC, the nv driver in 4.3 attempts to solve this problem by supporting chips that haven't been released yet. -- Dr. Andrew C.
