Howso unreliable?
I'm running it against a GeForce4 Ti4200 with no problems at all, and
have been for nine months. Performance in Unreal Tournament 2003 and
Quake III Arena is very satisfactory.
I've heard many complaints about the Nvidia driver regarding its
performance and binary-closed-ness, but never about stability.
