VESA isn't too bad from a performance point of view, but a
card's VESA bios might not support the native resolution of
the LCD monitor you've got. Its better to have an older/
simpler card which has a dedicated driver that can drive
the card in more resolutions than VESA can, and thus more
likely support your screen's native resolution.

If this box is meant to serve as a blueprint for advice to
customers of TuneTracker then it might be best to suggest
a card that is likely to support a wider range of screens
in their native resolutions.
