[mythtv-users] New NVidia drivers, 7676.. not much changed.

[Todd Bailey]

newer isn't always better, unless you need some feature that the old card 
doesn't provide, I'd stick with the legacy hardware.

I've not used NVidia's much but I just bought a GeForce4 card. My
machine has locked up 3 times in the last 4 days. Prior to that I was
running an old Mach64 for a couple of years and never had a problem.

Heat? Nvidia? 7676? AGP 4X? Gremlins? You decide....

Cheers,
Mark
