That's good to hear, and it makes me curious. Does the "simple" refer to
the open-source or the closed-source NVIDIA driver? And is it general
consensus that NVIDIA is easier to deal with than ATI? After all, you
installed a card after you already had on-board graphics.
Also, I vagely recall having heard that a 64bit-OS might be trickier to
deal with when it comes to graphics drivers. Is that true? Here I see 8
Gig of RAM, hence presumably a 64bit system.
