    need a cheap/good PCI video card recommendation

    I installed Fedora 3 on an old computer using an ASUS motherboard with an integrated i810 chipset video, but, it doesn't work very well. The Gnome windows do really wird stuff. The mouse makes the windows change shape instead of moving. I think I need a new video card. I only have PCI slots, no AGP. Does anyone have a recommendation for a PCI slot video card and/or any recommendations on what to stay away from???

    There are nvidia drivers built into the kernel. However, there is extra work to be done if you want to enable 3D hardware acceleration.
    There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

    I think the GeForce 5200 is what I'll get... that said... is there a tutorial or a step-by-step instruction on how to install what is needed for the card???

    I just installed Fedora 3 and I'm really new ti it, so, be gentle!!

    If the model is the same (5200) then they should basically be the same (discounting perhaps slight differences in memory speed, etc.). Some people prefer certain brands (I'm an Asus guy myself) but the chipset should be the same.
