I have a 7300 GS myself. One of the 7600 models is probably a notch
better - very good, cheap, fanless cards with all the resolution you
need, I believe.

The one in the ports seems to be the official Nvidia driver. You will
need to have kernel sources.

No problems, but do read the fine print about agp and running
nvidia-xconfig. Install nvidia-settings if you are into photography or
otherwise care about good colors etc.

I presumed that Keve was looking at /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver, which
is the latest driver and most probably the correct one if he buys a new
product. But he could always keep in mind that there are legacy
versions. Hard to discuss the matter until he decides on a card.
