I got my video card today ... in a HUGE box. I swear, the box was about 2 ½ feet long and 18 inches high and wide ... and full of foam peanuts! I had to dig for the card! Hehe. But it installed flawlessly, total time: (includes turning off computer and installing card, booting, letting windows find card, rebooting, installing drivers, rebooting (do I sense a pattern here?) and running the setup thingie to customize settings) 29 minutes. Not bad. I haven't installed the card in Linux yet, we will see how that goes, I'm not as much of a geek under Linux so I might do the lame way and just re-install Linux. But maybe it auto-detects, who knows, but last time I tried installing stuff under Linux I had to manually set up new hardware under Linux but that was years ago too.

Anyway, I'm a happy camper now, I can set my display to true color with a decent resolution (true color @ 640x480 which I had before is not decent) and it's got decent 3D acceleration so I can play all those games I have or want that I couldn't play before yay!
