The one of which I added the PCI id... Geforce 7300 GT. I bought my friend 
the "ASUS EN7300 GT Silent". It has no fan, but only a heatsink. For just 
doing 2D, the board gets pretty hot (~73°), but the silence is nice... :-)

On Haiku, I haven't yet got the updated driver in effect, it used vesa. But 
everything was *totally* zippy, even without any acceleration and with 
Painter operating in non-native colorspace (back to front copy + colorspace 
conversion for every drawing op). Since everything is so "instant", I'm 
assuming the PCI Express fully kicks in. :-)

Best regards,
