I have a Nvidia in a nforce2 motherboard, I have not been able to get the
drivers to work. I have tried the on board video and an AGP video card
neither will work. If someone knows how to get nvidia drivers loaded let me
know.
Thanks

NVidia...NVidia...NVidia
Also, think about a low profile card for better cooling...especially if
you have a small case.
