I find the compatibility issues quite confusing.

The new machine I have set my eyes upon leaves me two choices for the
graphics:

- ATI Radeon X1250 256MB Shared Graphics featuring ATI Avivo Technology
- nVidia GeForce 8500 GT 256MB PCI-Express *Fanless*

I'm using this nVidia card successfully with FreeBSD 6.x-i386, xorg 7.3,
nvidia-driver-100.14.11 (the version that happened to be current in
ports when I installed it), and compiz as my window manager, on a
dual-core x64 system. I've had one X lockup in about 3-4 months since I
got the system; no idea what caused it.
