This product works perfectly under Linux and comes working out of the box for most distros with their generic kernels (however without full 3d support).

Getting 3d support is as simple as installing a driver :) Nvidia drivers work like a charm as long as you follow the directions very carefully. The current 4496 driver works under the 2.6 kernels with a patch from http://www.minion.de/

Dmesg output in the 2.6 kernel tells me that agp 4x is nicely integrated with the agpgart module that can be built with the kernel and all my 3d apps run well.

Old card, but very well supported by software, and in both Windows and Linux.

Not so hot for me. Worked fine from the go but when I tried to upgrade Xfree86 through up2date, boom. No more display from boot to death. Bad bad thing! Had to reinstall the pacages off an emergency reboot from the CDs.

It worked decently when using the standard svga drivers, but it wasn't until I actually installed the drivers from nvidia's website that things like screensavers ran smoothly. The card is about 5 or 6 years old, and it was a really good feeling to not have to buy a new card, like what I had to do for my audio card, even though that became free after rebates... (I'm not the best with setting up ISA devices). But the video card works well under Linux, just make sure you install the drivers for it from www.nvidia.com and it should be fine for casual computer-use. The only thing that prevents me from doing everything I'd like to on this computer is thef act that it only has 200mhz, so I can't play some games I would like to.

RH 9,Fedora,Mandrake,SUSE,Knoppix,Xandros,Slackware..almost all the distro's existing now...

Works great with the NVidia drivers

Works fine once you install the drivers from NVidia ...

It's not the greatest, but it works, so oh well!

Worked amazingly perfect under FC2. This card was death in Redhat 9 but great for the price on a server with no gui

I've had the card for years. It's not most feature rich card out there but it works. I didn't require any drivers from nVidia as I was satisfied with the desktop from the get-go.

I got 2 comps up and running on Mandrake, 1 was a breeze to install the nvidia drivers for, the other I had to disable riva support, recompile the kernel, and do the normal editing. A little more playing around got it up fine. It was already in the old comps, and they worked. Good stuff if you don't need 3d. Also, the newest nvidia drivers don't work, and 6111 wouldn't compile, go for 5336.

Works perfectly, I get around 312 FPS in glxgears. OpenGL screen savers work great with this card. I have also used it to play Warcraft 3 with Cedega although play was slightly sluggish compared to windows. Great card for videos and screensavers, not so great for gaming.
