> I use nvidia geforce 2 60mb never crashed X never had a panic or reboot it runs so much more better on bsd than linux. If you have a low budget nvidia all the way. Current uptime with X on desktop is 45 days and X hasnt crashed ever since i ran it :) and yes good movie and dvd playback too

Well, which drivers do you use?

How often do you use OpenGL applications?

My NVidia works okay with "nv" driver (no hw accel) from XFree86, yes, that
driver is stable indeed.

But, NVidia's own drivers are unstable. Maybe your results are better,
because you have other card, than mine.
