Video: GeForce is good, check www.nvidia.com for the latest driver and to verify that the driver will work with the target video card. Also check xfree86's website for their list of supported cards/chipsets, that is what matters if the manufacturer hasn't provided a driver. Sound: I got a Game Theater XP working soundwise, but couldn't get full functionality. Going with 5.x current, I was able to get an Audigy card working nicely (with mic support).
