Description: I got this card when i bought my Dell machine over a year and a half ago.
I like it....since i am not much of a gaming fan...and since this card runs fine for other apps that i use.
The Nvidia installer also installs just fine for this card...i have tried it under kernel 2.4.24 and 2.4.20-30.
I would recommend it to anyone who is not seriously into gaming but still needs a video card for other daily purposes.

I have the 64mb flavor of the card, installs and works flawlessly with standard instructions. Disabling the nvidia logo seems to have increased performence very slightly, i noticed that it loaded gdm faster but otherwise works the same. Good fps in Quake 3 and UT.

Just had to change nv to nvidia in xorg.conf, but otherwise everything worked automagically.
