Pros: Like most NVIDIA products, this card is very well supported on Linux platforms. I'm running dual 1440x900 monitors with the full suite of 3D desktop effects enabled, flash video running, and the quality settings turned up. So far, this card has ran everything without a single hitch.
Cons: Like many other users, I got this really weird noise when I first fired up my computer, but it quieted down after a minute. Even then, I can still barely hear it over my case and PSU fans. My system is a little quieter than most, so this would probably be a big deal only if you already have a very quiet system.
Overall Review: This card also works quite well in Vista, but I wanted to write something for those Linux users out there :)
