I to have been using Nvidia video cards for years with little problem. 
Lately tho, my motto has started showing.  If it ain't working, switch
to something else.  I like Nvidia cards but if they won't work right,
that's a problem. 

Mick, if you switch, let us know how it went.  I know at one time Radeon
cards were a nightmare.  That was a while back tho.  No clue on current
things although I hear about less problems too.
