Thanks, Yes, I discovered after I posted that my problem seems to be that at home I'm still using slink (getting ready to switch to woody) and between slink and potato Savage4 support was added to the SVGA server. So I may hold off on changing the video card, although I'm getting the itch for a TNT2 card for the Windows side.

Note however that I'm not a gamer and all the graphics I do is GIMP (the default potato version). I use the SVGA server for it (available on the install CD). No crashes thus far here.
