I have a PNY FX5200 (which has a fan) and am using the current nVidia drivers in apt (1.0_4363-14.rh9.at) running under RedHat 9. I do not experience any issues when switching between X and the consoles. I have not tried the card under Windows so I can't give any specifics on that platform.<BR>

I have an MSI FX5200 which doesn't have a fan (runs fairly hot though). The card works well, has a DVI out (for future compatibility with a plasma...), but do be aware that it seems to be too new to be supported on older nvidia drivers. For example booting Knoppix usually brings up a black screen. Also, Win XP (if you use that for any testing), wouldn't do anything except call it a standard vga card.
I also see corruption/lockup when switching to the console and back to X. It is OK if I switch back to the console and wait about a min (for anything to happen) and then restart X.
Other than that it works well.
