Machine recognized the card right off, SuSE installed the basics and than YOU took care of the bells and whistles.
Don't know who retailed my card as I bought it on ebay and it arrlved without papers, box etc., but it is the same nvidia chip this thread is about.
A good general purpose video card.

This is a good cheap replacement card if you have integrated video card using shared system memory. Big improvement from my VIA Savage Pro integrated graphics controller. I got the eVGA eGeForce FX 5200 card.
If you have proper kernel sources installed just download the driver from nvidia. Exit from X to init 3. Run nvidia installer. If the X configure doesn't work just edit xorg.conf and change the driver to nvidia. Restart X.

Had no problems with this card during installation at all. It has dual port outputs on it for twin displays, and after downloading and installing the nvidia drivers from their website, then configuring x11 to use TwinView, it fired up in dual display mode without a hitch.
